Same as forgetting that vaccines saved us. Now we’re repeating the same shit we pulled 100-years ago. Great Depression, high tariffs, fascism, all coming around again because every human who remembers is dead.
For example, as a child I was fascinated with grandma’s smallpox vaccine scar. Think I missed the cutoff by a year, because smallpox was fucking extinct. She’d also tell me how thankful her generation was for the polio vaccine, how scared she was as a child. She’s dead, and so is everyone else who can tell those first-hand stories. So it goes.
