Measles was a normal childhood disease when I was a child
I had measles at age 6 plus chickenpox and whooping cough...
Also the mumps would visit our school once a year...
The doctor would visit the house confirm the disease and the Mum would call the school and be told which day to let Susie or Johnny return to school 3 weeks hence...
Nobody was quarantined other than the sick one was kept home...
The disease was allowed to play out through the school and was soon over...
The only difference with measles is that for most of those 3 weeks we were very sick with vomiting and had to stay in a darkened room...
The other disease produced spots or lumps but hardly affected us healthy children...
We had 3 extra weeks of school holidays to the envy of the other kids who didnt get sick that year...

The only vaccination I had as a child at school was for polio...
BTW all the Mums were at home in those days...
They didnt work outside the home...
Eh? No chickenpox parties?

Comrades, it is important not to blame our ‘newcomers’ for the outbreak of long-forgotten diseases. The blame clearly lies with the Mega-Maga antivaxxers
same here
The only vaccine I have had in my life of 70 years was smallpox!! Had ALL of these childhood diseases and got through them just fine!! I can’t remember but I may have had the polio orally!! I refuse to even have a flu shot my immune system will do the job God gave it, may take a little longer as I get older but so be it!! Natural immunity is ALWAYS better!!
