In 1950 global child mortality rate was 27%. Now it is as low as 0.3%.

Before vaccines my aunts first child got sick when he was a few months old. She took in the doctor and as she was waiting the baby died in her arms. She never recovered. -

@luckytran I work on my family tree. A while a go I came across a family of very distant relatives. The year was 1776. In a 48 hour period, 5 of 7 children died. There wasn't a cause of death, but diphtheria & smallpox were wide spread in the colonies. Even George Washington adopted a form of vaccination for smallpox by purposely infecting men to build immunity among the troops. Trump is a stupid man. So is RFKjr. I'm tired of hearing excuses for people who listen to them. They are also stupid

As a child, I saw kids who had survived polio but had to use crutches, metal orthopedics or a wheelchair. That was before mandatory vaccinations for all children. I never saw a kid so badly hurt by polio after that. I never saw a person questioning vaccines either before coming to the US.

@luckytran tbf you actually rarely see those graves
Not because babies didn't die, but because there either was no grave stone for them and∕or those graves were long removed.
This kinda doesn't work. -

@luckytran my great-grandmother was Frieda Lina Hildenbrand. Only her sister Luise Katherine survived to adulthood. Her parents buried at least five babies.
These people are monsters.

@luckytran Our pediatrician has a sign close to the front desk: you don't have to vaccinated all your kids, just the ones you want to keep.
They also make unvaccinated sick kids wait outside - to protect everybody else. -

@KanaMauna @luckytran 49%!? I knew it was bad in the past but I didn't know it was THAT bad

This graph is extremely sobering to look at:

The eugenicist oligarchs funding Project 2025, RFK Jr, & Trump want the gravestones of children. More for themselves.

@luckytran I remember when doctors asked me: So these are mandatory and these are optional with quite deep explanation and with my wife we need not more than second to answer, give him all you have in portfolio. So he is also vaccinated against meningococcal diseases, etc.

@luckytran We are currently researching our ancestors. They used the first name David over generations. There were 6 Davids within 10 years. Married Family with a David and same last name: 1. Married David later: 1. These 6 Davids were 6 kids, 5 of them died early.
The grave stones are long gone. The church records are still there.

I'm all for vaccinating kids when the evidence for efficacity is so clear - but I believe the biggest contributions to the decline in infant mortality have come from public health works - especially clean piped water and public sewers - or state-regulated septic tanks - district nurses, etc, etc... state infrastructure taking care of its people.

Cause and effect of the social media by people that are uneducated and react based on emotions instead of facts...

I'm out of the 40's, had some of those diseases and was lucky. Had Friends that weren't so lucky. If people want their children healthy they will get them vaccinated, those who don't aren't paying attention. It's as simple as that. How many have had measles of late.

This kinda doesn't work.@dat @luckytran Depends on where you live.
In french cemetery there's a lot of familial graves, and the babies are often a line on those.
When you see a grave with only a dead baby name on it, that's a dead baby with rich parents.

even in family graves a lot families didn’t even consider adding really young children there.
like died before age 3? not relevant!
why? because it was REALLY common.
If it survived the first few years? then it might survive into adulthood.
