I would think the anti-vaccination crowd would think about this, the next time they decide against vaccinating their children. These ancient, deadly diseases never go away, it just seems that way, because many people have decided to get vaccinated. Smallpox is still alive and well, its just WHO finally got everyone inoculated, but its still here, as are measles and many other so-called child hood diseases that can still kill.
