Another good example would be the polio epidemics I remember from when I
was a child and teenager.  Polio generally struck children and young,
healthy adults (such as Franklin D. Roosevelt).  Many died, of course, and
many others were crippled for life, to one degree or another.  

I remember a friend dying when I was about 8 years old.  I also remember
that children generally weren't allowed to be in any groups of people
during the summer:  no going to the pool, no going to the movies, or a band
concert in the park, or a fair or a carnival.  The chances of getting polio
were just too high in summer.

We can return to those days very quickly if enough people refuse
vaccinations - polio is just one example, there are *many* others.
