At least some Christian Scientists deal with diseases like measles by quarantining the patients; they aren't saying "it's trivial," much less "getting sick is good for you" (which seems to be the idea behind wanting their children to get the chicken pox virus, but not in a vaccine). And those are people who explicitly believe that prayer can cure disease.
