Good stuff. When I worked in China in 1976-1977, I had to get a huge battery of inoculations. The only place on the entire West Coast where I could get the shots was the VA hospital in SF. The battery included diphtheria, typhus, typhoid, yellow fever, and tetanus (I’m probably forgetting a couple others). I never knew what diphtheria did to you until reading this article. There was no Hepatitis A or Dengue Fever shot in those days, either. I wound up getting Hep A in Mexico.
I also thought it was pronounced “dip-ther-ia.” I never noticed the “h”after the “p” before!
You dont suppose it was reintroduced into our society by foreigners...noooooo
