There are only few certainties in my life. One of them is that I'm extremely unlikely to die of tetanus, diphtheria, polio, rabies, typhoid, cholera, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, measles, mumps, rubella or pertussis. And definitely not of smallpox. #VaccinesSaveLives

Your reminder that fairy tales are full of stepmothers because women once routinely died in childbirth, from postpartum sepsis, or from other infectious diseases and left behind housefuls of motherless children. Stable nuclear families are made possible by vaccines, antibiotics, and safe abortions.
