And if we stop vaccinating, the diseases that we intend to prevent recurr in even more virulent strains. I.E., we thought that we had irradicated small pox through vaccination, so we stopped requiring that chidlren be vaccinated for small pox. And, in fact, the disease has started to recurr. The same with polio.
