I know all about Samoa, but I was referencing my own childhood here. Back when the best alternative to immunisation was the Measles Party [YES! I predate the MMR vaccine that started all the conspiracy theories. Never got it. Still autistic] When also care and remedies to help the suffering were relatively common knowledge.

I didn't even get into the old vinegar bath to bring the spots out in here.

Samoa should be both an outlier and a horror story for obvious reasons. And also grounds to convict all those Antivaxxers who made it happen for conspiracy murder on a massive scale. Pity we can't get them for war crimes -_-
