A "medical freedom" momfluencer is using a clip from "The Brady Bunch" to rally her followers against the MMR vaccine. In the episode "Is There a Doctor in the House," all the Brady kids get measles and enjoy a few days off school. Cases of measles are on the rise in the U.K. and U.S. and Natasha Crowcroft, who advises the WHO on MMR, says the disease's seriousness shouldn't be dismissed since even healthy kids in high-income countries with good healthcare have a one in 1,000 chance of dying from it. “If I said one in 1,000 people who eat this yogurt would get a severe allergy, that product would be off the market,” she told Salon.
