I don't know how common it was, but chickenpox play dates were a thing back in the 70s at least, when the vaccine was decades away. In that context, I can understand it - the only path to immunity was exposure and it's not something you want to catch as an adult.
As an alternative to vaccination? Fuck no.
That's true, and IIRC the reason was because if one was exposed to chicken pox they were able to handle small pox better (as in living through it).
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
