[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]

Most deaths in this country are arguably needless, but we give people the freedom to make the decisions that lead to their deaths or the deaths of others. We let any ole idiot purchase a 5,000 pound battering ram and drive it around a city, while carrying a military inspired weapon, a couple of pit-bulls roaming around the backseat while chugging the largest slurpee they could fit in a cup-holder. All of these things are far dumber decisions than passing on the measles vaccine and they produce far more deaths.

That's before you factor in the often ignored fact that vaccines are not risk free. You really should read the package inserts of the vaccines you advocate for. Let me show you a small portion of one: 
Nervous System
Encephalitis; encephalopathy; measles inclusion body encephalitis (MIBE) [b]subacute sclerosing
panencephalitis (SSPE)[/b]; Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS); acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM);
transverse myelitis; febrile convulsions; afebrile convulsions or seizures; ataxia; polyneuritis;
polyneuropathy; ocular palsies; paresthesia; syncope."

Hrmm, one of those looks familiar...

So how many kids do we have to give SSPE to, uh, save kids from SSPE?

You know it's more common with the viral infection than with the vaccine, right? [/quote]
