I think it is culture. The far left is less likely to listen to the older generations. Usually dismissing them as ignorant and too old fashion. In a, "You might have done it that way back then but we have a better way now.") While the far right is more prone to listen to the older generations. (Pining for the "good old days.") And it's the older generations who are banging the vaccinate your kids hammer because they remember when you could not and how people they cared about suffered and/or died from not being able to be vaccinated. When was the last time you heard of a 65 and over anti-vaxxer? Most of the anti-vaxxers are 45 and below.

So true.

(though I for one have no desire to learn what measles and polio are all about the hard way)

You know, I used to work in an orthopedic shoe shop that did dealings with polio survivors. You know, those old folks who survived BEFORE the Salk vaccine.

Let me tell you, only people who have never SEEN polio, or experienced it in their country because of vaccines can actually be stupid enough to reject vaccines. Polio is fucking horrible.

My great uncle had polio as a child and he survived but his one leg was affected his entire life. I won't ever forget seeing how different his two legs were simply because he had polio as a child.

When/If I have kids, they'll all be vaccinated, just like I was.

I still remember the awful oatmeal bath my mom gave me when I had chickenpox and am so grateful they've come up with a vaccine for that now too.

Yup. One of our clients was a one-legged polio survivor that had to be CARRIED into our office. He just couldn't make it with all the snow. Trust me, after that, if I hadn't been all for vaccinations then, I'd've become so!

Yeah, we JUST predated the chicken pox vaccine. Thankfully, I don't remember much about having it ourself, just that it was inconvenient.

That has always been my thought. Vaccines have become victims of their success. Gen-X and later have no clue what measles was really like - because our parents who did know vaccinated us so we would never have to know.

I am old enough that I got chicken pox and while I didn't have many pox (my sister got those) I was pretty sick for a day or two. And my father came down with shingles - which is something I would not wish on anyone. As a result as soon as I am eligible I am getting the shingles vaccine.
