She would have been 99 this year.<br />As for immunization, I'm for it for dangerous diseases, but here they often want to vaccinate a child to 25 things at once. I think if they spread those out over several months it would be safer for the child's health. We've had a dramatic increase in autism over the last few years and some are linking it to immunizations.Russell Gayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05675737193544148651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872436458316103784.post-41521368225492683392015-02-13T10:23:10.432+00:002015-02-13T10:23:10.432+00:00I hope she does - deafness can be so isolating.I hope she does - deafness can be so isolating.liz younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289501717229347872noreply@blogger.com
