Good! I think the stupidest idea I've ever heard was stopping the vaccines.

But, that's just my humble opinion...

I was talking about this with a friend of mine... She pointed out that you can tell if someone is over 30 years old or not (in the U.S.) by checking to see if they have a scar from their smallpox vaccination.
