I wish there had been vaccines when I was young. I was recovering in hospital after a tonsillectomy that led to a hemorrhage, and got measles in the ward. Hospital sent all the kids home. I laid in a dark room at home. Measles led to pneumonia. The treatment was carrying me in for antibiotic and vitamin K shots. Three months until I could return to school a couple days a week. I was a lucky one. Vaccines save lives.
