Anti-vaxxers bring the proof that measles is harmless: a 1969 episode of The Brady Bunch

Measles probably won't kill your child. Probably.

But the list of complications is horrible

I can't help but wonder what horrible mutations are introduced into the gene pool by people who did not get measles because of vaccination, yet needed the disease.

Back when i was a kid folks used to have measels and chickenpox parties for their kids,

If one kid in the street got it loads of parents would have a gathering so as to get it out the way

True story

I was never vaccinated, never had measels or mumps even when all the other kids were getting it.

That's because it's safer to have it as a child, and it's certainly more convenient to get it out of the way at a time parents can plan for.

Measles was not considered to be a deadly disease throughout most of human history. Big pharma and the vaccination proponents have escalated the hysteria. More people die from the flu every year and you don't see colleges quarantining students that get the flu. The hysteria is ridiculous.

Maybe the big push for the measles vax is so you don't figure out that getting the measles virus may reduce cancer.

If you get measles, maybe there is less cancer, meaning a whole lot less $$ for big pharma treating cancer
