When I grew up, cases of the measles were common. I had them, my sister had them and many of my friends came down with them. I didn't come from a community of anti-vaxxers, either. It was just something that happened to kids, like the flu. I'm not supporting the anti-vaccination movement, just pointing out that this world of pretty much no one getting the disease is the new normal and that we survived as a civilization before it became so. Obviously it would be better if everyone were vaccinated. I'm just trying to put it in perspective.
