A lot of people around today were not around pre-MMR. Measles caused godawful birth defects, including blindness, deafness, and brain damage. A lot of people died of post-measles pneumonia every year. It isn’t just a trivial rash. Grow up and get your kids vaccinated.

Same way Kushner got one, I imagine. It was just approved by Trump. He can do that. Background checks are for the client to do with as they wish. The client here is Trump.
Border czar Tom Homan didn't receive a normal background check for his role while his bribery probe was still ongoing:
Justice officials felt sure Homan would not be able to obtain a security clearance based on the evidence gathered. It remains unclear how Homan was eventually granted clearance.

President-elect Trump initially balked at submitting names of likely nominees to the FBI for background checks, a basic step intended to flag possible financial conflicts or ethical problems.
