AT THAT TIME

I was born into a world with dangerous pandemics.  Not only did we have viral pandemics but bacterial ones as well and, in an age before antibiotics, even more, terrifying than those caused by viruses.  We survived them but we had something none of you have, a strong Board of Health, a Public Health entity free of politicization that could order the quarantining, in place, of infected individuals,  It dispensed mandatory vaccines. free of charge. Public Health was a serious matter and no President could have used it as a toy, at that time.
