My wife's sister is anti-vaccine. Her and her kids came to may house just before Christmas and the discussion came up. I refrained from getting into it too much, but at one point she mentioned that it is good when a child gets a childhood disease because after they recover, they gain a "natural" immunity to the virus. I had to face palm on that little bit of wisdom. All I said; "Yeah, that sounds more convenient than getting vaccinated".
She then mentioned other theories about how recovering from illnesses is good mentally for a child and builds character... I can't recall exactly what she said, because I tuned out.
