Measles is good for you if you're not malnourished, after measles we go on a growth spurt, we are left immune to various tumours, our immune system has learned how to kick ass. It's also been observed that artistic ability takes a giant stride forward.
Saying we should vaccinate against measles is like saying we should vaccinate caterpillars to stop them from going into cocoons. To the uninformed it will look like a caterpillar is dying in the cocoon, lying there motionless, but if we vaccinated them against going into cocoons we'd wipe them out.
