The point of conversation is not one step forward and two steps pausing to explain. Childhood diseases are diseases that, before vaccine insanity began, parents expected their children to get and recover from without incident. Polio was not one of them.
WRONG! "Childhood diseases" were diseases that were endemic in the community. Because the adults were mostly immune, the children were the most likely to contract the disease. They got sick, they suffered and many of them died. The "bills of mortality" from any country you choose will show the deaths from these diseases you claim are risk-free.
The medical textbooks and non-medical diaries from other eras will teach you what was thought of these illnesses you scoff at.

When a community is isolated enough that the disease disappears (or was never present), a "childhood disease" can become an epidemic and affect all ages. The measles epidemics that roared across Polynesia are an example.
