    A good percentage of my parent’s friends did not get to be adults ( 1930’s and 1940’s)

    They were buried with a lot of love but now days a lot of the people who took care of the graves are long gone too.

    It’s not like all the kids were in a rich and well maintained cemetery the last 4 generations, and it’s not uncommon to accidentally kick a small headstone in the weeds here and there, in forgotten plots.

    Antibodies would have helped many, but many were killed by diseases coming back. I’m sure modern medicine will help many survive today. But that just seems like a lot of needless pain and suffering

    Anytime I see an antivaxer I like to try to invite them to walk a bit
