[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hate to interrupt the kvechting, but how about we add some data to this. How many people died of measles in 1960? Pick any other disease you are terrified of and check a year just before the vaccine.

That’s your worst case scenario, which also assumes sanitation, nutrition and medical treatment also rolls back that far.

And lastly, [b]compare those numbers to road deaths[/b].

Why? The two are very different things and just because the risk of dying from measles is low doesn't mean you shouldn't prevent getting sick if you can. There are negative to illness other than death. No one wants a lengthy hospital stay even if they don't die.

It's like the raw milk debate. Sure if obtained safely the risk of getting sick from raw milk is low. But if milk is contaminated the outcome can be devastating. Just watched a mother crying about how she gave her child raw milk and he was hospitalized and while she herself didn't drink the milk she still got sick while caring for him and had a miscarriage/stillbirth as a result.
