When you see an old gravestone which shows an entire family of childrend dead inside a week, thik of Diphtheria.
In the 1920s, there were an estimated 100,000 to 200,000 cases of diphtheria per year in the USA, causing 13,000 to 15,000 deaths per year.
In 1943, diphtheria outbreaks accompanied war and disruption in Europe. There were 1 million cases in Europe, with 50,000 deaths.
Diphtheria is not an old diesase, it has killed unvaccinated people in recent times. Thankfully, there is a preventative.
Remember --vaccinations save lives.
