    Bloody hell, this is stupid. Survivorship bias, anyone? Ignorance about the potential serious complications of measles among the general public?https://twitter.com/forrestmaready/status/1110629609463300098 …

    In this thread, I'm going to present a collection songs, comics, and advertisements showing how no one really cared or worried about a #measles infection before the vaccine came out. pic.twitter.com/6vuGhn1mVk

        Basically, this is what I like to call the Brady Bunch fallacy. Just because a nearly 50 year old sitcom did an episode that made light of the measles, that must mean measles was no big deal to people back then. Yeah, right.🙄🤦‍♂️https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/appeal-to-brady-bunch-vaccine-fallacy/ …

        Of course, both the past and the present rebuke Moready's claim that the measles is a benign disease.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2015/01/22/the-past-and-present-rebuke-antivaccinationists-who-claim-measles-is-benign/ …

        Wow. I had the measles as a young child (even I was one or two) in about 1967 so I have no memories of being ill. What I DO remember is the tension in my mother's voice speaking about my illness 45 years later. This was NOT a benign little something or treated as such.

        Just bet the number of measles complications is a lot less than vaccine complications. And that HPV vaccine needs to be burnt to death.
