It's not the only or last thing that will come from it.
No, it's from the "smart" young parents who value their own opinions over medical fact. Thousands of children have not had their shots because the parents know better.

Then again, could be a typo.
Impacted area would be fine also....

It was formerly ADD but you couldn't get welfare for ADD so now it is called Autism so you can get welfare.
Maybe we are slowly going extinct. The earth will have a chance at survival after all. LOL

It is not true that most adults have been vaccinated--only those that reached adulthood after 1963. I'm 81 and don't think I was ever vaccinated for measles (don't know what USAF did to me 1960-1980 though), but I had all the different kinds of Measles when I was a kid. (And Chicken Pox, Whooping Cough, and Mumps, too. Got the Mumps in school and broght them home and my dad nearly died with it.)
Agree that vaccinations should be done.

I too have had the book full of childhood illnesses, unpleasant too. There was no vaccinations except diphtheria which they gave me. Oh and lots of tetanus shots. Wish now there had been a chickenpox shot when I was a child, shingles it not much fun had the neuralgia for the past two years and expect it for the rest of my life. Get the vaccinations.
Doctors, are not Jesus or God, they cannot cure everything or raise the dead but mostly what they do is for our benefit. Get the vaccinations.

WAIT UNTIL AN OUTBREAK OF EBOLA COMES TO THE USA
I also "did it the hard way." When I was growing up if some kid in the community caught the measles, there would immediately be a "measles party" scheduled for all the kids who wanted to come and visit. Most parents just wanted their kids to get the measles and get it over with rather than having multiple kids in the family having them in succession and being tied down for weeks on end.
So I had them all -- measles, whooping cough, mumps, and chicken pox, plus at least one case of pink eye mixed in.
We did get a diphtheria shot and later the polio vaccine when it came out.
Jerry is right, as is Architect. We are now worried that there is an epidemic of about 400 cases of measles in the US. In the '50s and '60s, there would probably be that many in *one* small town or large regional or metropolitan high school. The vaccines have brought measles, chicken pox, mumps, and polio - all under control, and almost to the point of being wiped out - at least in the US. They are still killers in some areas, but thankfully not here.
