In fairness, I don't think antivaxers *want* to bring all these diseases back. They just labor under the delusion that the vaccines are more dangerous than the diseases they protect against and downplay how dangerous diseases like measles are.https://twitter.com/AboutPediatrics/status/1122101731016478720 …

Yet, measles parties and chickenpox parties have been in the news this year. Some write articles on the "benefits" of measles. So it may be a small minority, but there are some who seem to want their children to get sick. Looking at point #4 here: https://physiciansforinformedconsent.org/measles/dis/

It IS a small minority who do pox parties. That's my point! It's incorrect to make a blanket statement that antivaxers want to bring back vaccine-preventable disease. A small minority of antivaxers do, but painting them all with that brush does not produce an accurate picture.

It's not at all uncommon on Facebook for anti-vaxxers to claim that measles confers "immunity" from cancer, and is therefore beneficial.

I thought they wanted "wild" diseases like chicken pox and measles so they could have pox parties to vax their kids immunity? So they could stick it to big pharma. They are a confusing bunch.

Maybe "immunity freeloader" is a better term to describe how they're benefiting by declining vaccinations.
