OP tells us about a family in his community while growing up that didn't believe in vaccinating their children. This family, after finding out their child had measles, sent their sick child out to play with the other children so that they might also gain a strong natural immunity to measles. The measles eventually made its way to infecting OP and it wasn't such a walk in the park for her like her sister. OP was hospitalized and almost died. OP also now has epilepsy because of the scarring of brain tissue. The anti vax family's thoughts on it were "the other parents should thank them, now their child will have a strong natural immunity to the sickness." Their lack of remorse landed them some serious retaliation from the entire community. They were constantly abused and their cars and house vandalized. Tires were slashed and then replaced only to be slashed again. They eventually moved and sold their house it got so bad. Moral of the story, vaccinate your children to minimize the health problems encountered by your family and your community as a whole.
