 Oh! Oh! And don't forget things like vaccines, where 50% to 80% of all children used to die of preventable diseases! And why do we call these preventable? Because vaccines!  @RickiTarr @beecycling Unfortunately being headed towards again with US infant (and maternal) mortality. https://www.bmj.com/content/383/bmj.p2569  |
@RickiTarr "Things were better then" they say of a time you could lose all six of your children to cholera in a 48 hour period. There's a large grave monument in a local cemetery for the children of a family that suffered that in the 19th century.
