Yeah, make sure your kid gets mumps. Don't worry that he or she might be one of the unlucky percentage that end up with:
Inflammation of the testicles (orchitis); this may lead to a decrease in testicular size (testicular atrophy)
Inflammation of the ovaries (oophoritis) and/or breast tissue (mastitis)
Inflammation in the pancreas (pancreatitis)
Inflammation of the brain (encephalitis); they can lead to death or permanent disability
Inflammation of the tissue covering the brain and spinal cord (meningitis)
Loss of hearing (temporary or permanent)
That's all way better than getting the MMR vaccination that has a far, far lower chance of having even a mild side effect.
