Ok, so I read a story today on yahoo about a girl who is recovering from bubonic plague. Wow really in this day and how do contract black death you ask? Well you play with a dead squirrel. As a nursing major I am fascinated by the thought that people still get this. This seven year old girl had a 107 fever and whatnot and survived. In the middle ages when this disease was in its prime it killed millions. It speaks wonders for medicine today. However you have to wonder with all the vaccines we have and subject our children to how do we not have a vaccine for this?
