OK. I’m a boomer. I find it incredibly difficult to believe that everybody is so upset over this measles thing. Long before there was a measles vaccination, kids had measles routinely. It was the boomer generation. There were hundreds of kids in every neighborhood and we were always in close proximity with each other and we all got it and we all survived. It was part of childhood. As I recall, the only inconvenience was that it was really itchy, and I wasn’t allowed to go outside. Other than that, They’re really wasn’t any difficulty. Now I admit that because of today’s culture and poisoned food (and let’s not forget, vaccines ) perhaps our immune systems are not strong as mine was when I was a kid, but you know, calm down. geez

Born in 54; childhood measles (both kinds) was a right of passage...normal, expected.

As was mumps and chicken pox. In fact, moms would intentionally expose their children to these childhood "diseases" to get it over and done with. The biggest concern was making sure your child wouldn't scratch due to scarring (according to my mom).

More fearmongering to promote yet another harmful injection; the only ones who benefit are the pharmaceutical companies.
