Reminder that in the UK in 1900, before mass vaccination for childhood diseases began, 20% of all babies died before their fifth birthday (from diseases we currently vaccinate them against).@Infoseepage @suzannealdrich @cstross I binged through the @empirepoduk podcast, haven't finished it, but listened to 150+ episodes.

'Clotworthy Skeffington,' I think that might be my next fake name.

Just five generations ago, in Germany, my ancestors lost six of eight children before the age of three. Two survived to adulthood.
