Please don't allow these asinine people to affect your common sense. It is the same type of fears that has misled people to actually believe that vaccines are the cause of illnesses and has led to an outbreak in measles and other childhood diseases.
These diseases can have lasting affects. An example is chicken pox. If you have been infected long after recovery older people can have an eruption of shingles. It can be very serious and extremely painful. Thankfully there is vaccine that provides a degree of protection. It would be ridiculous for anyone who ever had chickenpox as a child not to get the new vaccine that has been improved over the former vaccine. Who knows at this time what will be the lasting effects of this disease.
