I do not understand the paranoia about measles or even chickenpox for that matter. I also have never heard any convincing argument that I as a vaccinated person who even had a vaccine fail to stop me from getting sick with measles anyways, be so paranoid about the idea that measles will get me. I got the vaccine, I got sick with measles, I got over it. The part that bothers me way more than someone being unvaccinated while I am is actually antibiotic resistant bacteria, because there isn’t much that could be done about the infection plus there is a likelihood as high as 50 percent that I will die from the superbug as opposed to 0.015 percent for measles. Then for the superbug, me ending up paralyzed, blind, deaf, or all of the above is greater than measles. But I guess over 20,000 fatal superbug victims is nothing of note.
It’s about age and your susceptibility to complications. There’s the chance from the measles for brain damage and blindness and potentially fatal pneumonia. Catch it young, avoid complications, yeah it’s no big deal. Catch it late, don’t avoid complications, things can get real ugly. Same with chicken pox, plus the shingles problem.
