I literally couldn't live without vaccinations/antibiotics! Too literal? Maybe. But I picked up every sickness I could when I was a kid and I was always sick! If I had been born during any other time period I don't think I would have made it to my teenage years. When I was 16, I found out that I am a carrier for tuberculosis. It has never become active, i.e. gotten to my lungs so that I can spread the love around, but I was still put on a 9 month treatment of antibiotics just in case. In a few years it's recommended that I do another round of the horse pills, but I'd like to put that off as long as possible.
I haven't tried going without either of these things, but a few people recently have and we're seeing diseases we thought we'd eradicated sneaking back up. Like polio and whooping cough, and other such crazy things. It's a pity, really, since all the research has shown that the autism/vaccine link is crap and that if we vaccinate we can save a lot of people.
So, thank you, modern medicine!
Love,
