An appalling yet plausible future: “The typical ailments of childhood—day-care colds, strep throat, winter norovirus waves—would be joined by less familiar and often far more terrifying problems: the painful, swollen necks of mumps; the parching diarrhea of rotavirus; the convulsions of tetanus.”

As someone who is very familiar with both the US and Canadian systems, I can confirm that PHAC is a great source of info, especially regarding guidance and easy to access facts. It doesn’t replace American data lost at CDC in the great purge but it does provide reliable health & medical information.

Vaccines work and do not cause autism. I will die on this hill. These two boys had been exposed to the same smallpox source. The boy without a rash had been vaccinated, the one covered in rash hadn't been vaccinated. A global vaccination campaign led to eradication of smallpox globally by 1980.
Picture of two children exposed to same source of smallpox. One (unvaccinated)  is covered in rash the other (vaccinated) has no rash. This is a genuine photograph that was taken in the early 1900s by Dr. Allan Warner of the Isolation Hospital at Leicester in the UK. Warner photographed a number of smallpox patients in order to study the disease.
