I had the Mumps at 6 years of age. I also caught the Measles at 8 years of age. I think the MMR immunization I was given before age 5 was weak and ineffective. At 34, my immune system seems to be immune to virtually everything now. I haven't been ill in 3 years, and during adulthood entirely, I have been ill maybe 4 times.

Don't count on it. When I was young my sister got mumps, measles, and chicken pox. I never got any of them. Then when I was around 34 my son brought home chicken pox and I got it. It was awful.

"At 34, my immune system seems to be immune to virtually everything now."

Antibodies seem to get weak over time. I left the AF at 30 and felt indestructable with about 12 immunizations. Now at 50, I seem to catch every upper-respiratory infection people bring to work with them via their kids. So I started updating my shots. The next 2 are TB and diptheria.

All these antibodies working together seem to also prevent similar infections to the target disease.

The only times I have been sick in my life was mumps, chicken pox, and measles all before I was 8 and haven't been sick in the last 60 years.

Hint to CDC: check out the illegal aliens in the area for your source!
