Only the genetically weak have anything to worry about. The type of frail people who die from colds.

I received the measles vaccine in the 60s that was later terminated when it was found to have been ineffective. Unfortunately, I got the measles when I was 17 and it was no joke. Hospitalized with extremely high fever and pneumonia. Without getting into the politics of vaccines, I highly endorse the traditional vaccines. Nobody should have to go through what I did.
