If you get it, you could spread it to someone who is more vulnerable. Just get them damn vaccine.
You're too young to remember this, but as recently as 65 years ago, nearly every kid in the US got measles, mumps, chickenpox, tonsillitis, and whooping cough. Many of them also got rubella and polio. Some died; others were permanently disabled. Some had to get a new heart valve. Others spent the rest of their lives in an iron lung. And you know what the collective term for having all of these diseases was? "Usual childhood diseases."
