same thing happened with measles, mumps and rubella. I can't remember where I read it, but I had read the CDC's description of these 3 diseases in the early 60's before any vaccine and it basically said mild mild mild, rare complications, most all kids get it.....

Both my sister and my nephew had CP under 1 yr old and they're fine. My sis had Measles at under 6 months old. But then my friends ped told her prior to the vax she admitted many children to the hospital because of CP and uses that as a fear mech to give the vax. It's very sad that once the vax became available, these "normal" childhood diseases are suddenly a most horrible and unnatural thing. And yet, no one seems to stop and wonder why the childhood diseases are making a shift to teens and adults.

Just exactly what I was going to comment - word for word the story with measles repeated, except some 30 years later.

I'm going to do measles next, so if anyone has links to old literature on measles I'd love to use it.

Otherwise I'll just do more news searches.
