This is exactly why meme culture is driving us off a cliff. Whoever made this meme is either being intentionally deceptive, or they don't know what they are talking about. The highest causes of childhood death in the 1900s were pneumonia, influenza, tuberculosis, and diarrhea{Starvation is not listed, but I bet it was a major contributor for many, especially before 1900}
The credit for less children dying belongs with better health care, better health care facilities, and more knowledge all around. And a better food system. Not vaccinations. Many conditions are very treatable that were an absolute death sentence in the past.
I get rather upset at the disingenuous and blatantly false statements and propaganda memes that the stupid vaccine worshipers make and post.
I grew up getting pretty much most of the "deadly" childhood diseases that are currently part of the standard (almost forced) vaccination regime in this country. I also personally knew several hundred other children growing up who all got the same bunch of diseases. There was not a single case that I can remember of any getting sick enough to have to go to the hospital and every single one made a full recovery.
If you listen to the idiots talk these days you'd think measles was Ebola!
Been there, done that, bit of a bummer and pain in the ass, but that's about it.
Of course the moment you start saying that the idiots reflexively scream "Polio" or "Smallpox", neither of which are currently vaccinated for and the first one of which was more due to bad public hygiene than anything else.
I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with vaccines or that people shouldn't get vaccinations if so wished or even that they are a bad idea.
Only that I have much more extensive first hand knowledge than most, that your average set of Measles, German Measles, other unknown Measles like stuff, Whooping cough, Mumps & Chickenpox are not these freaky deadly killers that everyone makes them out to be.
Could one kill you? Sure, you could die from the yearly flu too even after getting a vaccine for it.
Is it nice to not have to worry about your kids getting it and one of the parents or both having to nurse them back to health for a week or two as their sole job, YES, very.
