Old Children's Shows That Normalize Childhood Illnesses

The Donna Reed Show has an episode where the boy gets measles.  The Doctor on the show doesn't make a big deal about it. "He'll be as good as new in a few days. He only has measles".  This Doctor states.  This was a normal childhood illness back in the day and it should be normalized now as well.

The Flintstones- "The Dough" episode. Wilma And Betty get the measles and while they are embarrassed about it, it is a normal thing that they will get through. Barney tells Fred that the "measles don't hurt".  This is very good advice that Barney gives.

There is an episode within The Brady Bunch.  The kids get a fever and the measles and they don't make a big deal about it.  They tell them to get into bed and rest.  This is great advice that everyone should follow.

These episodes were obviously put out well before the propaganda of vaccines took over.
Are there any children's shows in which you can remember them talking about measles like it was an everyday occurrence?  It seems as though the only shows out there are ones that push vaccines and promote them to children.

A List of Vaccine Free Children's Books That Promote the Truth

There are a number of books out there that promote vaccines that push such propaganda.  However, there are only a limited number of educational books on the market that actually teach kids that many of these illnesses are normal childhood sicknesses that help strengthen our immune systems.

• Melanie's Marvelous Measles: by Stephanie Messenger - Stephanie's book talks about how you can heal from measles naturally by having a healthy immune system without vaccinations.  This is a great book to teach children about measles and other childhood diseases. You can find the book directly on her site here.  She also writes the children's book called "Sarah Visits a Naturopath".  This book also talks about vaccinations and how to stay healthy.
• Itchy, Itchy Chicken Pox: by Grace MacCarone -  This is a great book that we just picked up from the library yesterday.  The book is at a kindergarten - 1st grade reading level that talks about chicken pox and how they itch and go away naturally without the need of mainstream medicine.  For children that may have fears regarding the chicken pox, this book reassures that it is okay.
• Arthur's Chicken Pox: An Arthur Adventure by Marc Brown - We borrowed this from the library last week and I thought it was a decent book.  It is about Arthur who gets the Chicken Pox. His sister D.W. is jealous because she also wants Chicken Pox and she draws red dots on her to try to get attention.  My daughter and I enjoyed this book because it doesn't promote any vaccination propaganda.  Arthur heals from Chicken Pox and is back to normal in no time!
• Babar and the Doctor by Laurent De Brunhoff - This is a hard to find book, but if you can find it it shows a picture of kids playing and the pages state that measles isn't serious and after you heal you can get back up and play again!  This is a great one to read to young kids.
• The Rare Spotted Birthday Party by Margaret Mahy Story - This story is from 1974 as is currently off the market so it's very hard to find.  However, the Facebook group, Malaysian Vaccines Exposed has an album with the entire book so you can read.  It was a  good read.  It talks about how a boy has a birthday party but he has the measles and didn't want everyone to see him with the measles.  It turns out that all of his friends have the measles too, a common childhood illness.  They all ended up showing up at his birthday party and had a great time together despite the measles.
• No Vaccines For Me! Written by Kathleen Dunkelberger talks about the scary dangers and side effects to vaccinations.  This book helps children understand why their parents are making informed decisions regarding their health.
• Tommy The Tiger by Shawn Siegel is a great book for kids that explain different vaccinations and what happens when they enter in our bodies.  This is a great book for children to educate them and help them understand the poisons that are being put into the vaccinations.

It is important to teach your children now that these childhood illnesses are normal and they aren't as scary and dangerous as what they are brainwashed into believing.  It is reasurring to know there are educational books like these out there.  These books are definitely great resources!  What are some favorites that you and your children have read?
