Norman Could Have Painted This
Maybe the photographer was a fan. Look at the way it is posed!
Dr. Tabor's Time Machine
The measles vaccine was introduced in 1963.
[The photo says nothing about vaccination. The kid is about to get a shot of gamma globulin. - Dave]
I see. I was under the impression that inoculation meant treating with a vaccine when I made the comment - back in my callow, ignorant youth.
Wish I'd had it.
I never heard of a measles vaccine in the 1940's. I remember getting a smallpox vaccination, but my measles immunity came the old fashioned way - with a dose of measles. I seem to recall a quarantine sign on the door too.
James Randall Darkey
James Randall Darkey died in 2017, at the age of 79.
Talk about a complete examination.
Hope he has ten toes.
