[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was born a few years before MMR was available and I had both types of measles as did every kid in the neighborhood and none of us were hospitalized or died. Modern medicine is light years above 1970 so why are kids dying from it in 2025?[/quote] In the 1950’s about 500 people died a year in the U.S. due to measles. The population was roughly half of what it is today, so that would mean about 1000 deaths today. In 1960, a few years before the measles vaccine was approved, around 300-400 people died, or about 800 deaths today. You didn’t hear about deaths because it was it wasn’t as newsworthy for kids to die from a virus without a cure or a vaccine. There was no internet and national news was limited to a few outlets. Local news did not get picked up by national news outlets as it does today. [/quote] Measles may also be harder on folks now since we haven’t seen it in US in decades. Immune systems are not ready for it.[/quote]
