[Magdalen] Federal court backs law removing religious exemption from vaccinations.

[ME Michaud]

When my Auntie's mother was pregnant with her (in 1888),
she lost two beautiful daughters (age 4 & 6)
in the same night
to diphtheria.

Not surprisingly, Auntie never bonded with her mother, who was in a
crushing depression.

There was a time when these words meant something very real:

You shall not be afraid of any terror by night,
nor of the arrow that flies by day;
Of the plague that stalks in the darkness,
nor of the sickness that lays waste at mid-day.

-M
