    Oh another thing did anyone have parents who would intentionally spread chickenpox

    Just one year before the chicken pox vaccine was released, my parents deliberately inoculated me by taking me to play with a sick child in the neighborhood. Thanks for the shingles (if I make it that long) mom and dad!

      We so like having a permanent pathogen! I got shingles when I was 14 although my experience fortunately wasn’t that bad

      my parents deliberately inoculated me by taking me to play with a sick child in the neighborhood.

      I grew up thinking that was standard practice. And judging by that time frame, I think I’m younger than you.
