Yeah, I saw that.

An old friend posted a link on facebook to a “study” in which they brought up the point that the body’s reaction to actually catching the disease is stronger than vaccines. Which is to say that if you actually catch chickenpox, your immunity is stronger than if you get the vaccine.

This is, technically, correct. There is, however, that little fine print that the body’s natural reaction frequently includes the side effects of pain, suffering, paralysis, and death.

I suppose these are fine, as long as someone else is going through it.

exposing your kid to chickenpox might have made sense BEFORE the vaccine was available. Now, it makes NO sense at all.
