......is the outbreak of Whooping Cough in a private school in California, established in the first quarter of the 20th century by a reformer who believed:
1. Kids achieve health by proper diet alone.
2. Kids needed to contract diseases in order to be healthy.
You go on believing that. I just hope your kids don't die for the sake of validating your beliefs.
All covered by this bit of doggerel, I believe:
As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man-
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began:-
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wobbling back to the Fire.
-Kipling
