Vaccine U-turn: Measles surges as campaigners ride populist wave of distrust

I remember the mumps as being fairly painful. I recall the chicken pox as being extremely itchy. What do I recall about measles? Not much at all really except that they forced me to stay home from school.

The alarmism surrounding the measles is exactly the kind of misinformation that should be avoided, yet all I see are articles from authors that keep talking about the number of cases of measles as if the number itself is some kind of horror. Please people. Childhood diseases were always just a normal part of growing up. Don't run around like chicken pox with your heads cut off hysterically calling .00003% of the population a "pandemic."
