I'm a "Boomer" and had measles as a young child in the 1960's. My sister and I both had the German (3 day) and Old Fashioned (7 day) measles when we were young children (not at the same time!). We both had the rash, fever, and cold like symptoms. We were not allowed outside to play so we did not give them to our friends, and we had to play in our rooms. My mom also put blankets over our bedroom window as it was believed measles could cause blindness by the sun (fallacious). My sister and I did get caught half hanging out of our bedroom window yelling down at our friends as we were bored to death staying in our room and we wanted to play. Our mom was furious as she was bringing lunch up to us on a tray.

The measles were nothing more than an inconvenience. We didn't go to the doctor and he didn'r come to us (nothing they could do). Our mom made us stay in our room as we had a younger brother and then a younger sister and she didn't want them sick, too.

I never knew anyone in my generation who had not had the measles or chicken pox, and knew very few who had not had the mumps (My sister and I never had the mumps). These were all considered normal childhood diseases and everyone got them. They were a rite of passage. We also never knew anyone harmed by any of these childhood diseases. Problems associated with these diseases were very rare and we never knew anyone who had had issues.

Then in the 1970's they began to really push the vaccines and the government began a scare agenda about the dangers of these basic childhood diseases. NO ONE who had had them fell for the scare tactics. But those in the 1980's and later were taught to fear them and they bought into all the scare tactics hook. line, and sinker.

Most people get lifetime immunity once they have the measles. mumps, and chicken pox. Vaccines lower one's immunity, does not confer lifetime immunity (hence the life time boosters) and do not protect against diseases later in life as measles can do. Shingles were rare when children had chicken pox and the only people who got shingles were the elderly who had little to no contact with children because they were not being constantly "immunized" by being around children who were carriers of chicken pox by being around their friends. it was unheard of for children or young adults (of child bearing age) to get shingles. Now they are a scourge of young and old alike since the rollout of the chicken vaccine and now they encourage the shingles vaccine! L-Lysene (an amino acid) can help keep one from getting shingles or other issues in the Herpes Simplex family. It is better insurance then the shingles shot.

We've traded one disease (chicken pox) for another (shingles) and Big Pharma is getting rich on both vaccines. Disease is a money maker for the pharmaceutical companies. Chicken pox was rarely a dangerous childhood disease. All 8 of my children had them in the 1990's, and yes, I eschewed the new vaccine as I knew chicken pox was not dangerous and conferred lifetime immunity. My two oldest children had chicken pox in March 1978, and my other 6 children had them in May/June 1994.

Every single vaccine, regardless of what they are for carries danger and can cause all kinds of issues from fever, swelling at inocculation site, to Type 1 Diabetes, Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), Asthma, Allergies, Otitis Media (Inner Ear Infections), Psoriasis, Eczema, and even death. The CDC and the Vaccine Injury Court has a list of all the issues they recognize (and it should be more!) and the payouts since 1986. Vaccine injuries are NOT rare as most people just do not know to correlate their child's health issue with their recent vacccines, though some issues can show up several years later. Autism was 1 child in 1500 in 1980, and now it is 1 child in 36! What has changed? The amount of vaccines on the childhood schedule.

Please do your own research and do not fall for the fear.

If your falling for the measles hoax you probably think your myocarditis is caused by climate change.
