The ignorance and gullibility here are astonishing. Bad parents, bad churches and bad peer groups promote such things.

Rubeola is much more dangerous and takes longer to recover. People like me who grew up in the 50's will probably remember getting both types of measles, chicken pox, mumps and sometimes whooping cough.

My siblings and I all had the measles at the same time. It was not this bad but measles are not fun.

The measles outbreak in South Carolina is “accelerating” with no end in sight following Thanksgiving and other large gatherings, state health officials say.
