I agree - there were deliberate attempts for kids to get at least one of those 3 diseases, (chicken pox, mumps, measles). I recall having at least one of them as a kid. As the doctor used to say, “its just got to run its course”.
I only remember getting one vaccine, that one with a gazillion needles that left the tell-tale mark on the shoulder. I’m sure that there was at least 1 more, but I was too young to know about it.
That was Smallpox
I am an alumni of All Three of the childhood ailments. I was a Good Boy. hah.
Case in point one of my friends got the measles in his twenties and it hit him badly. Three of us were renting his Moms house and he spent time in the hospital. Then me and the other guy got the stomach flu, we were all mighty sick that summer. Ugh.
