- Reposted by Ann-Marie Brown, PhD-ACPNPThere aren’t many things worse one can imagine than the loss of a child. But the loss of a child to a vaccine preventable disease is a pain no parent or family should ever have to bear. Sowing distrust about vaccines, arguably the greatest public health success of all time, is pure evil.
