My parents weren't antivax, they had doctor appointments booked to get me fully vaccinated. But I couldn't be vaccinated against measles as I had a fever at the time of the appointment
Of course the fever was measles
I'm glad that most people around were vaccinated, so I only caught it from one person and luckily was okay.
May more antivax die of these diseases to reduce the reduction of infection among the population who aren't vaccinated due to age (like I was) or immunocompromised or whatever. Fuck the antivax people.
Anyone raised by antivax: talk to your doctor about getting any childhood vaccinations you missed where you also have so far missed the getting the disease.
