    I guess the idea behind a “measles party” is to introduce the virus to the child’s immune system so that they can develop antibodies for it?

    Damn, if only there was a safer way. Like if a doctor could introduce a very small amount of the virus to the child’s immune system. Do you think a dead virus would be enough for the immune system to learn what it is and how to fight it? Why aren’t scientists working on this?!
