Default Re: Measles

Measles are blamed for my youngest brother being deaf. Unfortunately when we were kids there was no vaccination.

I know of teachers who encourage kids to be sent to school with Chickenpox. that way all the kids get it. and then there is no further disruption as individuals all take time out in dribs and drabs as it slowly passes though a community. Having suffered Shingles which I am told is related to the aforementioned chickenpox, I am now wary of the virus.

Mumps used to be a good one. Thankfully I had it as a child. Supposed to be nasty for grown up fellas
