When i was a child, i had friend with a Mother in an iron lung from contracting Polio, as well as a teacher who used crutches and leg braces. Those things burned deeply into my childhood memories, and made me grateful that we no longer lived in the past.
I honestly can't understand anyone that would put their children at risk for disfigurement, sterility (mumps in males), death, pain, etc... However i do get the American outlook that laws apply to everyone but them, and it can't possibly happen to me/mine.
