I remember when we wanted to get measles so we would have LIFELONG immunity. Instead now we treat it like the plague and give “shots” that wear off and expose adults to it...

We vaccinate for measles because there are people out there who cannot receive the shots who would die from measles, besides those who would just get complications from it. Herd immunity protects them.

Measles is associated closely with retinal detachment and blindness later in life.

Getting that vaccination is a good way to avoid that.
