Yep. That was the way it was. No big deal. EVERY kid got the measles. No one died.

As false as false can be. Why say something like that? Yeah, they got it. Yeah, it was a very big deal for many who suffered greatly. And yeah, quite a number of people including children died. All of that stopped after developing the vaccine and it was largely eradicated. To say otherwise is completely false.

Now, we have people spreading propaganda to convince fewer people to get their kids vaccinated against it, and low and behold, measles infections will take place along with the suffering and death the disease caused before. What a surprise...and people like you come along and claim people didn't die from it with no embarrassment or shame.

“No one died.”

I’m sorry, that is just not true. Death from measles is rare, but it can happen.

The daughter of Roald Dahl, the author (James & the Giant Peach, etc.) died of measles complications, suppose that would have been in the 1950s. He wrote a very sad article about it, think that was in support of the vaccine when it was introduced. Nobody expected the girl would die, but in the end she sadly did.
