So I'm not an "anti-vaxxer" or whatever you're insinuating, I just think there's better things to panic about right this minute than kids getting measles or whatever traditional right of passage as has gone on for millenia.
As recently as 2000, measles caused 1.1 million deaths globally among young children in a year?s time.

I am not sure how old you are, but perhaps the measles vaccine was not available when you were a kid? It wasn't for me, so I got sick with all my brothers.
