My grandma is 90 and was talking about the times before vaccination for measles.

She lived through a time where a doctor would visit the house and just put up a sign saying you had the disease and to quarantine, hopefully you made it through. That's basically all they could do. But she knew of some kid who was intellectually healthy before but when she got the measles it handicapped her severely. It was sad knowing that's what happened and in this case it wasn't anyone's fault either because they didn't have the vaccine. After the vaccine, the disease was nearly non existent and now it's come back.

I thought about the irony of anti vaxxers not vaccinating their child because they think it would cause diseases like that only to find out that not getting it causes things like that to happen. I thought that was crazy.
