No, it doesn't mean that. What it means is that as we force our population to increase their required number of innoculations, we are exposing them to other, unknown risks. I had shingles when I was 17 and it was incredibly painful, so it's not only older people who get it. While chicken pox can be deadly to a very small number of children, for the most part, it is one of those diseases that is fairly benign. Living is full of risks. Innoculating a relatively benign disease when there are unknown factors (as there always are) does not seem like appropriate public policy.

My oldest daughter is one of the rapidly increasing number of children with peanut allergy.

Her MDs think that the "epidemic" of peanut allergy may be a result of all those little immune systems being revved up, now with no challenges from "usual childhood diseases", getting fixed on common environmental antigens instead.
