[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So when are we going to get the pile of bodies we were promised? [/quote]

1 to 3 in 1000 children with measles die. Try as you might, you haven't been able to infect that many yet in this outbreak. There have been some child deaths already in overall cases, though.

Just imagine how much fun you'd have if you could ensure they were all unvaccinated! Are you betting on the numbers? What's the spread?[/quote]

The rate was 1 in 1000 back in 1960. You guys really should update your numbers now and then, because a lots happened in the last 65 years. We don't have pockets of malnourished children like we did then, so the disease ends up being pretty mild. [/quote]

The disease remains severe. What we have now is ECMO, ventilators, a whole lot of pharma, and the ability to crack a kid’s head open so his swollen brain has somewhere to go. If you don’t mind dropping a couple of million, we can save your kid, too. No guarantees about what he’s going to be like after, though. [/quote]

+1 this person is very ignorant. 11% of the people diagnosed with measles in 2025 were hospitalized, more than 1/10. Three of these people who had measles died last year! In 2025, even with modern medical care you are talking about the fatality rate was still 1/760 last year. [/quote]

Makes me so angry. These are needless deaths. Brought on by repudiation of one of the most amazing things science has ever produced because a conman wants to be president. [/quote]

I would say that individual states are partly at fault too by expanding vaccine exemptions and making them easier to request. [/quote]

The exemptions were of little consequence when measles was eradicated. It’s not anymore.  It’s quite clear the virus is circulating widely in North America now. [/quote]
