Yes, there were still a few people in iron lungs when I trained in the late sixties/early seventies. And on the same subject I'll never forget seeing children in the children's hospital in Manchester with measles and mumps encephalitis and permanent brain damage (if they survived). We have largely forgotten the terrible toll that childhood infections took and need a wake-up call (and a visit to any churchyard to see the graves of those who died before vaccines).

I remember having the wire and cotton mesh thing on my arm over the swelling after what I assume was the polio vaccination, that would be in the early 1960s. I also remember having the measles, mumps and chickenpox.
This anti-vaxer thing is an absolute curse.
