The bad taste of better days

I just wish to submit it is unreasonable to have to deal with the outbreak of a rare disease in the middle of an ongoing pandemic of a novel virus which far too many people are treating with pure denial because they got bored with it, thanks. "One expert told Reuters the recent outbreak of monkeypox could be due to increased travel after COVID restrictions dropped." Wheeee.

It was given to people who were five when I was a kid (in an area that had no public kindergarten) so that immunity would kick in before registering for first grade. We got the polio sugar cubes at the elementary school a few years later (whole families came for that, not just the students).

It might have been a booster that my siblings got later rather than the first shot. My impression was that they were older than five. But you know how anecdotal family info can get distorted.
