The only reason that she had to deal with being “the measles family” is because apparently a lot of other parents thought herd immunity was so strong they didn’t need to vaccinate their kids. Otherwise, it would have been, “That loony family down the street has the measles, which they could have prevented.”
I got measles in 1995, and I happen to be the person who got every shot the doctor said I should get. It happens. Although hopefully actually getting measles with the rash and coughing gave me natural immunity though.
“... apparently a lot of other parents thought herd immunity was so strong they didn’t need to vaccinate their kids.”
Maybe try and read the article first before you post ignorant comments? One of the exposed was too young to be vaccinated for it, and another was being treated for leukemia and had a compromised immune system, so they couldn’t be vaccinated either.
