Misinformation cliff
It appears that history has a strange way of repeating itself. A cartoon from the 1940s is shown here. Anti-vaccinators and people who don’t believe in immunization are walking off a cliff, as depicted by this cartoon.
These people do not believe in modern medicine and are inclined to pass along the idea that vaccines are dangerous. This doesn’t help us eliminate germs like smallpox or other viruses, precisely as the coronavirus has done. Does it sound familiar?
