Vaccines....Doing That Thing They Do.




The above is from New Brunswick cartoonist Dawny Mock.

It went, pun intended, 'viral' recently thanks to the Canadian Medical Association.

The artwork may have come from a cartoonist, but it should be viewed as a public service announcement.

In addition to Smallpox, Diphtheria, Polio, Pertussis (whooping cough) Tetanus were some vaccines I had as a baby / young child in Britain via the recently formed post war National Health Service.

I’m a retired baby boomer, along with a multitude of others in great health, longer life expectancy than our predecessors, due in no small measure to the vaccination programs of the day – 1950s, and access to free health care as public health policy as well as for the public good.

Not bothered about vaccines or the efficacy, ? google “ polio child images.”

Neil Young contracted polio.

As did my immediate neighbour, living with the aftermath for 60 plus years.
