You need to get your facts straight. You say our parents and grandparents were intelligent enough to get the measles vaccine? I had the measles before there was such a thing as a measles vaccine. We are remembering reality while your are remembering some fantasy.
How old are you? My paternal grandmother was born in 1890 an my maternal grandparents were born in 1907.
You survived and now have the privilege of telling people that no one dies from measles. Those who died from measles do not have the opportunity to respond. So much for anecdotal evidence.
