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.
