Measles, big whoop. Everyone got measles when I was growing up. Didn't kill anyone that I knew. Once you had them, you never got them again. And when one kid in the family got them, all the kids got them at the same time. Convenient for Mom & Dad.

I think you are thinking about chicken pox. Measles can be deadly if not handled properly.
I for one have never had the mumps, measles or chicken pox as a kid. I would hate to get either as an adult. When my kids were in school I was always leery of them catching chicken pox in particular, plus I worked for a medical facility that had a lot of sick kids coming in every day.
Nope, measles, mumps, and chicken pox. We got them all. No vaccines back then. I never heard of anyone dying from them.
Today, kids can't be in the same room as a peanut butter sammie.
12:44 great for you. Unfortunately measles can kill. Glad you and your family were fine, if it was measles after all.
The fallout of eight years of Obama and his disregard for US boarders allowing all these third world trash into our country will be felt for many years to come.
Even third world people can spell border correctly. The lack of education locally speaks volumes for the sad state of affairs here on the shore.
Welcome to my world, 938. Welcome to my world.
Measles was virtually eliminated... until the antivaxers showed up in their tin foil hats.
Thanks morons. Do you even science?
