   Well back in the 60's at school I got vaccinated against polio,   
   smallpox, measles, rubella, whooping cough etc and we had pretty well   
   wiped out tuberculosis with antibiotics. Polio was big problem back then   
   there was one hospital in town that purely handed tbose cases. There was   
   a remedial class in our elementary school that was specially set up for   
   those kids in leg irons after having had polio.   
      
   My mother was a nurse and made darned sure we all got vaccinated. We are   
   all still here  and we only lost our mum last year at the age of 96.
