I remember having measles. It was awful.
I remember the fear of damaged vision.
I remember when being pregnant meant you better hope you had measles as a child because you sure did not want to get measles while pregnant. -- Pregnant women worry a lot sometimes and now if their parents chose to depend on the herd, pregnant women have to worry about measles.
I remember being glad when the vaccine arrived for the next generation and for generations after.
Measles is more than just an inconvenience to have. Measles can be life-changing -- and not in a good way.
