[quote=Anonymous]Measles has a fatality rate of between 0.3% and 2%. (better treatments for the complications result in the variance in the numbers). For immunocompromized children the death rate approaches 30%. But, for the sake of argument, lets use 3%. That would mean that, each year, without immunization (no immunization), about 10,000 to would die per year in the US. Globally, about 120,000 people die per year from the measles, according to WHO. http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs286/en/. Measles is very dangerous and very contagious. As for chickenpox, it is usually mild in children, but severe in adults. When I was younger, parents would have chickenpox "parties" to ensure the kids were exposed at a young age. [/quote]
