No, a side effect of measles for boys is that it can result in infertility. I meant "snipped" as in sterilized. Their stupidity could prevent their kids from reproducing. Wait: I think I'm getting it mixed with mumps. Yeah, I was. Mumps, a disease vaxxed against alongside measles, can cause male infertility.
