Why ‘The Brady Bunch’ Measles Episode Is Getting Grief: An episode is being shared online by people who do not agree with vaccinating against the measles. In the 1969 episode titled “Is There a Doctor in the House?”, all six Brady children get the disease, but it doesn’t seem to be a big deal.

They don’t have sites where you can freely upload videos anymore and share?
Never was a big deal. Just like chicken pox. Parents used to have chicken pox parties so we would get the chicken pox to help with our immune system.
Infants just used to die of diarrhea back then, so of course the measles wasn’t a big deal. Now that we’ve pretty much solved child deaths, our society no longer tolerates the risk associated with measles.
Had measles had chickenpox I turned out just fine.
Do I need to list all the reasons the Brady Bunch isn’t an accurate portrayal of life?
Measles are fine and everyone has a live in maid
I was a kid in the 60s. Some kids got measles, some didn’t. No one made too big a deal of it. It wasn’t as good as mumps or tonsiliitis, tho, because with those you got to eat ice cream.
Looks like they are going/went to school with it.
