We have been reading recently about cases of rubella (measles) because of parents who, contrary to science, choose not to have their children vaccinated, believing that it leads to a higher incidence of autism. However, I have not read anything pointing out the dangers of measles.  It can lead to pneumonia, bronchitis, encephalitis, hearing loss, bleeding problems, and visual impairment.  The babies of over 80% of pregnant mothers who  contract measles will suffer death, growth retardation, cataracts, deafness, heart defects, or intellectual retardation.  This is not contrary to science.

Seems sort of like basing a serious parental decision on a hunch.
