re: #303 Belafon

We’ve reached the point where those who knew how bad the disease were are now grandparent or great-grandparents. Most parents today were vaccinated and never experience it directly. Combine that with the fact that most of them are ignorant of science and history, and you’ve got the comment section at lawhawk’s link.

Exactly, that’s my point about short term memory. I see it a lot in other policies and issues too. Whereas the older generation who knew how bad the condition was that led to the innovation in the first place has died out, the younger generations who have never experienced it directly tend to ignore it. To me, it’s basically the same product of those that think cutting so called entitlements is a good policy.
