As the fight against COVID-19 continues & public-health measures wear on, it may be encouraging to recall our many public-health victories of the past.

Here's a short list of diseases that were once devastating but we rarely think of anymore.

(Warning: Some gross images ahead.)
Victory #1: Diphtheria

Before vaccines, this was a leading cause of childhood death.

Sufferers could develop a thick coating of dead tissue in their throats, making it hard to breathe & swallow. Advanced cases led to heart failure.

Horrific stuff we almost never see now.
Victory #2: Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)

Before vaccines, this was the leading cause of bacterial meningitis among young children the United States, which could lead to brain damage and deafness.

It spiked in Alberta in the 1980s but only appears sporadically today.
