Marjorie Taylor Greene advocating for “measles parties” reminds me of this story for which I was interviewed in 2012, where people were sending lollipops and washcloths from kids infected with chickenpox to other kids across the country.

Those aren't people, those are reborn nazi hell-beings from the death camp medical corps...Marjorie Greene is a reborn SS death camp guard who shoved people into the gas chambers.
Reminds me of the people that were allegedly putting infected needles with HIV in gas pump handles so when people grabbed them they’d get pricked. Of course that was rumors at my workplace so take that with a grain of salt.
Don't forget the even more recent but less successful "covid parties". I do wish those would have caught on more in certain circles.
I had never had chicken pox and caught a case at age 35 from some dummy in the office's kids. No fun as an adult, that I can tell you.
Sad.
It’s like advocating for letting a baby sit on your lap in the car. Sure it was done years ago, but that was before child safety seats were invented. Who would leave a child unprotected now?
And it was mostly chicken pox. As a physician I don't recall ever hearing of a measles party due to the danger of severe disease. It'd be like having a scarlet fever party or a tuberculosis party...
I’m old enough to have participated in chicken pox exposures before a vaccine was available (parents let us play with kids knowing they had been exposed but it was 1980).

OMFG. That is the $hit we did in 1952 when I was FIVE & had NO vaccines!
MTG needs to crawl back in the hole she popped out of & STFU. On top of that, our guy in the WH has signs of THIS:
