In 1962 Roald Dahl's* daughter Olivia DIED of measles encephalitis. In 1986 he wrote an open letter to antivax parents. Didja know?

*Author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory among many other children's books


1 in 1000 children who get measles will also get encephalitis.

Measles is one of the MOST CONTAGIOUS diseases in the world with seriously severe possible complications of pneumonia and encephalitis if you're one of the very very very unlucky ones.

    If you don't want to vax your kids, keep them home and home school them.

    I had the measles when I was a child. So what is the problem? I had chicken pox, and something called 'mumps' too. (swollen glands?)

    Some die. If you could protect your child from dying would you or would you just shrug it off and say "what's the problem"? Thanks and Happy Monday.
