August 25, 2021. Western Head, Nova Scotia. Vaccinations.

Between 1920 and 1930, 20,000 children died of diptheria in Canada. The History magazine this summer published an article about the history of vaccinations in Canada. From 2020 to 2030, it would be unlikely for any children in Canada will die from diptheria. This will not just be good luck. It all is the result of vaccinations. The same is true for other infectious diseases such as smallpox, chicken pox, measels, whooping cough and polio. Once the scientists figured out to produce the vaccines, people took the vaccinations because they knew their children would avoid dying from the disease. Before attending schhos, children were required to be caccinated about all those diseases. But there seems to be a hard core of peole who are opposed to taking vaccinations which puzzles me. I know a bogus study published in a medical journal about the connection of autism with vaccinations. But that study was totally made up. There was no such study but people in California bought into it. Now you will see cases of measels because parents refuse to have their children vaccinated. Now people are refusing to be vaccinated for the Covid. It makes no sense to me.90% of people in the hospital right now with the Delta varient of Covid are unvaccinated. Don't all the others want to get vaccinated as soon as possible? The whole thing is puzzling to me. Do they not remember about all the children who died of infectious diseases in years past? Evidently not. "Get the vaccine. Protect yourself," is my message. The whole anti vaccination idea makes no sense to me. Time will tell I guess.
