The only problem with that is you can’t vaccinate children for measles until they are 6 months old.

Well, don’t visit children if you are sick with something, because when you are sick, you are contagious. Most exceptions to this rule are diseases with pretty limited overall contagion, such as HIV. But with the flu or measles, some person or kid coughing into the air of the house or open air should not visit people. Even with all the vaccines out there, you aren’t covered against every disease out there, some people need to use some sense. As it stands, rash and coughing drops of your saliva into the air spread measles, so someone with a sick child decided to take them to Disneyland, the Texas daycare, and so forth. It never ceases to amaze me how much people think this rule of health sense doesn’t apply because you have vaccines against a small fraction of the diseases out there, when you dramatically drop the risk of spreading the infection by none other than not going to visit someone old or going to school when you are sick, it boggles my mind how this simplest rule of common sense flies over the heads of so many people. Then, even with the vaccine and the boosters, there is a variable of between usually 2 to 5 percent that you still can get sick, and get other people sick with at least the case of measles. Others tend to have higher chances of infection with the vaccine.
