Thx. In those days, we were so bloody private about anything awful. I've had to Make myself talk about several dread-filled things so that others might escape them.

My mother had such a slight case of measles when she was carrying my brother in the '40s, she didn't even bother to be "sick."
He was born very beautiful w/ no mind. Zero mind. Lived lying down slackly until he was 25. Never walked, thought, or spoke. Measles are very dangerous.

You are very kind and courageous to share this so that others can truly understand the danger of measles. I choked up as I read this ... thank you for sharing.

Thank you for speaking about your brother. I'm sure it's hard! But it needs to be brought to the attention of people who believe vaccines are 'govt intrusion'. I know people whose children have suffered through mumps and whooping cough. Why?!

if you remember the actress Gene Tierney - she was pregnant and contracted German measles -a fan broke rubella quarantine because they wanted to meet her. Her daughter was premature, eventually went blind and deaf and was permanently developmentally delayed.

Thank you for going out of your comfort zone and acknowledging the dreadful things that were normally swept under the rug due to social expectations. Vulnerability and transparency are important not only for warning others of potential tragedy, but also vital for finding support.
