Back in the 50s it was a almost standard procedure to cut them out. My older brother had his out and just as I was old enough the thinking with doctors was to leave them in. I still have my tonsils.

My brother started having a sore throat when he was in his early 20s. A doctor took a look and said you have tonsillitis. His tonsils grew back.
