ISorry, I may have misunderstood you, but are you suggesting that a fictitious American family soap opera is a more accurate proxy for assessing the likelihood of measles infection in a population, than mortality graph data from Government statistical laboratories?

Or am I being dense and this is just irony.

The same can be said about the propaganda film, “Old Yeller.” That movie was outrageous fear mongering. Tami may not fully understand why tv shows were called, “Programming.”

The Brady Bunch episode is far from fear mongering about measles. It just demonstrates that measles was a common occurrence among children during that time period. Just like chicken pox. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5289k-dbOMY
