That's true... though hysteria and humanity seem to be well matched these
days

I've read a few articles about a worrisome decline in parents innoculating
their children agaisnt the things we were innoculated against -- on the
theory that innoculations are dangerous, and if no one has the diseases
anymore there shouldn't be a problem with their kids getting them, so why
get shots. And as a result (a painfully obvious one you'd think) the
incidence of childhood measels, ruebella, polio etc etc are on the rise.
Ignorance abounds (and astounds)
