"All of the mothers that came were grateful, now they don't have to get their children vaccinated!"
In 60 years or so, when those kids are running the risk of getting shingles, I seriously doubt they'll be grateful to their stupid mothers.

Shiny,
You might want to get your titers tested for pox. That will tell you if you're at risk of catching it again in the future. I've never had the pox, so I was tested 4 years ago. the doctor said I have high immunity to chicken pox; nobody has this type of immunity unless they had caught the disease when young. OK, so I was exposed to it when a baby (my sister had it, I was in the same room as her), and am still good.

I had the Mumps and the Chicken Pox back in the 1970s, before vaccines came out.

I'm the same. When the vaccine came out, I asked to be vaccinated and they gave me an antibody test. It came back positive, which isn't so much of a surprise because I was also exposed when all my siblings had it.
The doctor said I must have had it because otherwise I wouldn't have the antibodies, but I don't see how that would be the case. Usually antibodies are present when you're exposed to the disease, but that doesn't mean that you've contracted it; your body could have successfully destroyed the disease.
Or was the doctor trying to tell me that once infected with chicken pox, your body can only prevent an outbreak, but it cannot eradicate the virus? It would be nice to know whether I need to be worried about shingles in the future.

Yay, maybe they can all get together for a shingles party when they're older!
I had chicken pox, twice. My sister had chicken pox as a kid and shingles as an adult, at a time when her immune system was low. Shingles are supposed to be incredibly painful.

OMG fucking retards out there really think wandering around with live virus is BETTER than a deactivated vaccine that confers the same immunity as well as lowering your odds of shingles later in life?Quote

Essentially, you may have been exposed to a low virulent strain, it in a way that your body created an immunity without actually getting sick. This is precisely how vaccines work. However, what may also occur, is that someone may contract it, fight most of the bug off, but residual bugs remain active in the person in low enough amounts to not actually cause any symptoms, which allows them to go around unknowingly infecting others. The bug itself can also reemerge later in life as shingles or a more virulent strain.
What these anti-vax moos don't understand (or don't care) is that their sneuflaykes are going around infecting others who don't have the immunity to fend it off, and these are the ones that will be ones who suffer - no their precious sneuflaykes. The only time they do act is once the disease hits their crotchfruit, but then the damage has been done.
