Today, no child is a "retard" - but there are tons with "autism spectrum disorder," various types of "ADHD" etc. Isn't is just a label? Are the ratios between the two eras any different?

In society's panic to label a cause, many are foregoing vaccinations. Now we have fucking medieval diseases breaking out here and there. For a while, these folks were merely relying on other people's vaccination to protect their children from outbreaks. But once the unvaccinated hit a certain number, larger outbreaks are sure to follow.
