The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.
Jef Poskanzer@luckytran Same brainfart happened with Y2K - afterwards lots of idiots were saying it was no big deal. It was no big deal because lots of smart people worked hard for years to fix it. This happens over and over.
Kevin LaRose,aka Grumpasaurus@jef @Armadillosoft @luckytran I’m seeing the same pattern playing out with the lessons learned from World War II. There is now a concerted effort underway to rehabilitate Adolf Hitler, and in some places, it’s succeeding. My mother’s partner later in her life had, as a teenager, worked to forge passports for Jewish people trying to flee The Netherlands. His stories were fascinating, even more so taking into account that he was an actual link to that history. Mom passed away in 2023, and so far as I know her partner is still alive, but people like him are becoming very few and very far between. Meanwhile bad actors feel free to attempt to revise history.

@Thumper1964 @jef @Armadillosoft @luckytran Sadly, it only takes an average of two generations to forget the lessons and details of the past.

Beetles, trees, microbes, scientists, speakers of French, whatever. Break the link in time between one generation and the next, and it’s game over forever.”
