Its just one of those anti-"anti-vaxxer" talking points. Where they think parents are cheering on small pox and measles because its good they didn't get their shots.
When even in before the vaxx for it, and still in the poor, dirty areas of the world measles is still only like 1/3 fatality rate (aka not a death sentence). With its worst trait being that your immune system is horribly weakened for a year or so after having it, leaving you prone to other major issues but still not permanently damaged (like small pox). Which is still mostly not a problem in a healthy society, but deadly in the bush nigger.
Fatality rate of measels is under 0.2%. It almost exclusively killed unfortunately fragile kids that were going to die from anything else ( and who now die of other things ).
Well one of the problems with it compared to a lot of other "never really kills anyone but the broken" is that it weakens your immune system heavily for a much longer duration after its gone. Meaning it turns medium kids into fragile ones.
It was never a direct killer, even in those "terrible times and places" they use to justify max vaxxing everyone. 1/3 is bad, but compared to something like polio or small pox it was legions better as long as you had hygiene and medicine to wait out the post-weakness.
