[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Because measles itself is DEADLY.

This is an overstatement, I think. The far worse outbreak in 2019 yielded no confirmed deaths. Guffaw at RFK if you want, but nutrition and the like actually bears on prognosis.[/quote]

Interesting. MAGA hates facts.

The US only had 1274 cases that year, and the rate of death is 1:1000. But, that year global deaths were 207,500, an increase of 50% from 2016. Epidemiologists say that the US infection rate is likely much higher, since we already had one death.

I'm not MAGA, but I don't think you contradicted me? The global death count from measles really doesnt tell you anything about the rate of deaths in the US. If we're going to be rigorous and scientific here, we gotta do it right![/quote]

Americans aren’t known for being healthy and well nourished these days. The only thing saving us from a higher death count was less measles, as we will soon find out. [/quote]
