Today, I came across this story via LinkedIn.

“A brief, shining time: One of my sons died of a disease that later became vaccine preventable. But now that and other vaccines have been struck from the recommended list for children.”

As a dad, there’s nothing more brutal than the thought of my son dying. Ms. Dalstrom Anderson’s story brings those feelings to the fore, taking my breath away. I also feel her pain and frustration at the “current environment,” which is undoing the work of decades of vaccine research.

It’s my hope that this reminder of the human cost of this attitude is real and awful.

Please give this story a read. I deeply believe it’s worth your time.
