Peter Brown@AaronDavid I had measles as a child; possibly around the same time - 1962 or 1963
I have permanent damage to my hearing.
I am one of the lucky ones.
@peterbrown I had it when I was 4 or 5; late 60s. Parents used to throw Measles/German Measles/ Chicken Pox/ Mumps parties so all the local kids could catch it to gain immunity
@AaronDavid we had chickenpox parties but never any of the others.
Measles and mumps were too serious.

@VoxClamans @AaronDavid well I can honestly say that I have never ever heard preschool education described as a petri dish for spreading childhood immunity.
Far too close to eugenics for my liking.

@AaronDavid The image contains the text of an excerpt written by Roald Dahl describing his daughter Olivia, who caught measles at seven years old. After a while, he was sitting on her bed showing her how to make animals out of pipe-cleaners when he noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn't do anything. He asked her if she was alright, and she said she felt sleepy. In an hour she was unconscious, and in twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into measles encephalitis, and the doctors couldn't do anything to save her. The excerpt ends by saying that parents today can ensure this tragedy does not happen to their children by immunising them against measles.
