You have religious faith in “experts.”

No. But I’m old enough to know better than to accept the advice of anonymous blowhards on the internet.

People sometimes confuse red measles with German measles. German measles are relatively mild and not overly dangerous, except for pregnant women. Red measles are different.

I personally missed four weeks of the first grade due to a case of red measles. Before the measles vaccine, hundreds of people died every year in the U.S. from measles. Many more suffered severe cases of encephalitis. A significant percentage who weathered the storm were hospitalized.

One of the results of the near elimination of diseases such as measles is that clueless individuals can get on the internet and spew their anti-vaccine nonsense and contend that such diseases are not dangerous.
