Right on N E er. Its also good hygiene and getting away from the mob of people. The thing about chlorine bleach is that over time it goes bad. Filters clog up. There is good old boiling of drinking water.
b) Depending upon the type of catastrophe and it's duration there could be an uptick in disease or if you just plan on holding up in isolation you are safe but you eventually would need to re-enter society and then you could have issues.
we may find that once the "catastrophe" is over "society" as you and I knew it dosent exist anymore.

Yep, but eventually the majority of preppers will re-join some sort of societal network and thus introduce disease vectors.
Especially considering that this topic primarily applies to those with unvaccinated kids. Those kids are eventually going to want to meet somebody other than their brother or sister.
any society will be years down the road, eventually some form of community will evolve but it will be very different from what we have now. as for disease that will be up to what form of hygiene people practise, or don't, mistakes will be made and these will have consequences. vaccinations don't last forever, people have to have boosters, eventually everyone will be unvaccinated, especially those kids born after the event.

Why assume the society will be any different? People do what people have done - eat, sleep, multiply, kill each other, help each other, own property, so on and so on.

of vaccinations. In spite of the much-ballyhooed 'risks", you're safer with vaccinations. If shtf, polio, tuberculosis, diptheria, whooping-cough typhus, typhoid, hepatitis,tetanus, plague, cholera, malaria, syphilis, gonnarhea yellow-fever, genital warts, HIP, HIV, clamydia, are gonna come ROARING back. A few hundred $ spent today on such protection could easily mean everything to you. So might a few preventative masks.
Vaccinations in Canada are usually free, or at the most I've paid 10 bucks. In the cities especially we have new arrivals all the time from Africa, India, and China/South Asia carrying TB and who knows what flu virus.
But there's no "vac" that I'm aware of for some of the issues you mention: What you want is smallpox, TB, Hep. A & B, and an updated tetanus shot is a great idea. If I'm around Asian students or guys in the Trades I'll usually get this years flu shot.
Yes. Thalidomide was never licensed in the US. People complain about the FDA being too slow to license new drugs, but this was one time the process really paid off. Some doses were given out as samples, but that drug was sold OTC in Germany with horrendous results.
