In the graveyard of Sutherland lie a mother and her 7 children. The graves are from the early 1900's and none of the children made it past the age of 2. It vividly brought home to me the advances that medicine and baby care has made in the last 100 years.

in reply to kottke.org • • •You are right, an astonishing graph about how child mortality dropped.
But in the USA they will now reverse the trend. As the article says: child mortality is now such an 'uncommon experience that people have forgotten and want to ban vaccines.'
The USA will see many more children and parents suffering.

As a species, how to apply quantum mechanics comes only once; you must industrialize, another only-once, first. There is more alteration of our circumstances in the past two centuries than in the previous ten millennia.
It changes how you get status, not just who has it, and incumbents respond to that by setting out to kill whoever is trying to reduce their status. (Which is to say; everyone, all of us, for the sin of wanting to live in the future.)
