Love seeing all the hate here. Pretty sure all of us grew-up in the era where we contracted chicken-pox. We took an oatmeal bath, spent a few days at home, and all was well again.
That's a dangerous oversimplification and dismissal of reality. It's also unclear what you mean by "love seeing all the hate here." You should elaborate, rather than insult.
My sister was sick enough from chicken pox that her doctor told her to take aspirin. She died about a week later from Reye's Syndrome. So no, we were all not well again.
Blame that death on the doctor being unaware of problems with aspirin. (many decades ago?) Chickenpox barely had anything to do with the death; many ordinary illnesses would give the same result.
A quick check of what Reye's Syndrome was would have told you that it is both associated with chickenpox and the first paper to make the link to aspirin was in 1989 (add time for that information to be fully understood and disseminated).
It's also associated with the flu and, generally, with upper respiratory tract infections.
You should read all the way through the article, or read it again. The death toll is quite clearly stated.
Except for those children that died of it, which you probably didn't see. The plural of anecdote is not data.
