   As an infant, I nearly died of measles, which became almost unknown once   
   the vaccine became available, until recent fallbacks in vaccination rates.   
   My father (a fit champion swimmer) died of polio when I was two, which is   
   on the verge of being eliminated worldwide other than  Afghanistan/Pakistan   
   where the vaccine has been less accepted.   
      
   Vaccines are good. - Doubleplusgood!
