I've never understood the pro-measles movement. Anti-measles has been a virtually universal stance for decades, and I haven't heard a single good argument in favour of measles.

You don’t understand because you're not engaged in tortured manipulation or outright denial of germ theory like a ton of woo-woo anti vax morons are, which is a good thing.
I can't understand being that...stupid. I can't even think of a better or more polite word.
To be perfectly fair, most people who were vaccinated as children are now vulnerable again as adults, and would need to be revaccinated. Most people don’t know this. When there was a measles outbreak in Brooklyn, where I live, because of all of the unvaccinated children there, I had to go see my doctor and get the MMR vaccine again Because my vaccination had worn off. 
Any adults who have not been revaccinated should avoid unvaccinated children until they can get the MMR vaccine again.
Mine had worn off or hadn't stuck. I only noticed because I was getting travel vaccines and they offered to "double check" everything for peace of mind (it was free or low cost at my doctor's office).
Yeah, if you got it as a kid, it will wear off sometime in your mid to late 20s
It's not true that most people lose their immunity. Some do. But yes, if you're in, say, your 30s or older, it's best to get a titer to check if you still have antibodies to fight measles.
There is PRO-measles MOVEMENT???
In all but name, that's what antivaxers are.
Disgusting self-absorbed antivax garbage.
Its like this but some how dumber
My goodness I love this movie. The show was fire too.
Why does this dude look like the lovechild of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost?
The stupid antivaxxers will now have not only risked themselves and their children, but all those that m7ght now be exposed.
Was the traveller not vaccinated? If not, was is for a real, medical reason or just becasue of "Vaxx evil"? If it was the latter, just let him or her bear all the costs: the own medical bill, cost of tracking people that this person potentially infected, quarantine methods, PPE that has been used and time spent on extra desinfection, etc.
