Itโs breathtaking ignorance, many of these people ought to know better. Maybe they need to start teaching vaxx ed at school?

@Paekakboyz yup, blame the hipsters!

One of my friends posted up a picture of a book, saying about how measles is a mild childhood disease, which can have complications. Yes it can be mild, I got it as a child, but last big outbreak in NZ 1991 7 people died. Oh and around 100,000 die world wide every year.
I politely pointed out that just because it is in a book doesn't mean it's true - or telling all the story - but hippy anti vaxxers would rather believe idiots online that WHO

From the article:
...measles is deadly in one in every 1000 cases, while infection can damage the entire immune system and lead to serious complications such as pneumonia and encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). -

From the article:

EDIT: CHICKENPOX not measles -- apologies, fat fingers.

Yes, for a long time

Our oldest got C Pox, wasn't really that bad, so we didn't bother to vaccinate the others. Then a new round came a few years later and kids had the sore inside every orifice they had, a real horrendous strain, so we got the others vaccinated for that. 2 shots each, $120 IIRC
-
@Machpants Yeah, I had Chicken Pox as a kid, but a few years ago I got exposed to a sufficiently different strain and had to spend a month in bed.
A couple of years ago I got shingles (felt like being clinically depressed, I was so tired). Gonna get the new vaccine when it's available in NZ.

Great to see some kids acting more adult than their drop kick parents
