Thanks Joanne, good stories. I, too had the measles, doubt if there was a vaccine, and what part of the Disney measles part did your friend miss? Well, how about how many of those coming down with the disease were vaccinated beforehand?? Oops. Didn't help much, did it?
I fear for those who take comfort in getting all the vaccines they can. They'll unfortunately not have anywhere near the immunity that comes from actually contracting the disease and beating it. Like all my childhood friends and I did. If the virus is going to be more deadly today, that'll be more likely true in the vaccinated population, sorry to say.
