As a child born in the fifties I remember class mates with polio, rickets, fleas and general poor health. The mass effect of dietry improvements, vaccines and better health care cannot be underestimated. Another improvement for better health perhaps established a little earlier was decent sewage systems and clean water.
Perhaps a little mundane by todays standards but the net effect on population and personal health was tremendous.
Adam, thank God you recover and grow as you are now! I saw first hand the effect of preventable infectious diseases during my training and the benefit of vaccination in a developing country. I don't understand what is going in the mind of these people; do they think they are that smart? I think they are too arrogant and wanting to sacrifice others for their own ego.
This is such an important message. I wonder is there a way that it can get to the people who are making the crazy decision in USA...or maybe Mitch McConnell will see to it: "Efforts to undermine public confidence in proven cures are not just uninformed — they're dangerous," McConnell said in a statement Friday.

Perhaps you should dig in a little bit on the details of what exactly was proposed in which particular vaccine was in question before jumping large conclusions

Hit the vaccine doubters over the head with something like this.
A heart rending tale of having to live with this severe disability until the age of 78.
Ask them "Do you want stuff like this for yourself or a family member ?"

Mitch McConnell is one of the root causes of the current US situation.
Like Patient Zero, almost.
