Everyone should read what Roald Dahl wrote in 1986 (click this link to see a longer version) on the death of his daughter Olivia from measles in 1962 (the year of my birth). It's a salutary reminder that children need to be vaccinated against this highly contagious and potentially deadly disease. People who don't do it without good reason are irresponsible and are allowing their own fear, ignorance or sheer obstinacy to put the lives of their children and their fellow travelers on life's journey at risk of reaching an early and unnecessary terminus.
