Why do people refuse to vaccinate their children against measles or whooping cough? In many cases, because they have never seen measles and have no idea what it might do.

If we vaccinate well, if we increase those vaccination rates, we can stop measles just as we stopped it before.

Like measles, the reading bug is best caught when you are young.

You'd see little shallow graves, lined up, one after the other - babies. That's what happens when measles goes through a nutritionally deficient community. It's a horrible disease, and it spreads incredibly efficiently.

I do know that I think children should be vaccinated because that affects the health of all the other children.

Vaccinations absolutely work, and have dramatically decreased rates of childhood diseases.

When I was a child, there were not that many vaccines. I was vaccinated for polio. I actually got measles as a child. I got pertussis, whooping cough. I remember that very well.

Of my infancy I can speak little, only I do remember that in the fourth year of my age I had the measles.

Golf, like measles, should be caught young.

Vaccines save lives; fear endangers them. It's a simple message parents need to keep hearing.
