日本語の意味

子どもが比較的軽症とされる病気（多くの場合水痘など）に意図的に感染させ、生涯免疫を得ることを目的として開催される、子ども向けのパーティーを指す。

Some parents, misguided by outdated beliefs, considered organizing a pox party to intentionally expose their children in the hope of gaining lifetime immunity.

一部の親は、時代遅れの誤った信念に惑わされ、子どもに生涯免疫を得させることを期待して、わざと感染させる水痘パーティーの開催を検討しました。

意味（1）

Such a party for children, to spread a disease whose consequences are less for children than adults, and which confers lifetime immunity.

意味（2）

Such a party for people in general, to spread disease so that they may get it over with, and acquire temporary or long-term immunity. This may allow them to have disease knowingly under controlled circumstances where they may be isolated during the course of disease, and not infect others unknowingly. That may result in protection for vulnerable members of their social circle that they can isolate from the general public, by being the immunized gatekeeper.
