I'll probably catch it for this, but oh for the days where childhood diseases were caught as children and inparted better immunity.

You miss the days of Measles related Pneumonia, Myocarditis, Hepatis, Encephalitis and Blindness? There's a real good reason we started vaccinating kids against this disease.

I don't know anyone who had complications. I know they occurred but medical care has come a long way since those days. Many of those complications could be dealt with better. And what if there's an outbreak because of all the people who are unvaccinated or whose vaccines aren't effective? Childhood diseases are pretty serious in adults. This could all backfire some day.
