How incredible would it be, if we could live in a utopia where no one ever got sick with anything? This is surely something we should strive for.

I don't get this comment at all.

We've gone from measuring measles and the like in the tens and now we're measuring in the thousands. Diseases that used to wipe out or cripple large numbers of children were almost completely taken out of the picture and now are back with a vengeance.

We've moved backwards.
