I remember measles parties. One kid came down with it, and mom’s invited the infected kid over to give their kid measles. Thus, herd immunity attained.
I think the strain of measles we encounter today is way stronger than that which we were exposed to in the 50’s and 60s.
I never heard of any kids dying of measles before this latest breakout. Adults yes, but not kids.........
Yep whole neighborhoods had measles party’s mumps chickenpox we all had them as kids. In the last 50 yrs it’s Vax and give them in groups of 4 or 5 at a time every 6 months or so.
