The risk of getting measles is greatly exaggerated; there were only about 324 deaths per year in the entire US, historically.
The actual rate of death is one in 10,000, not one in 1000, historically. The CDC chart is misleading and dishonest. The CDC rate is based on those hospitalized, but 10 times to 15 times more are never hospitalized and recover.
The actual rate of hospitalization, historically, is about 1.5%, not 20%
Do we see a familiar game plan here? Scare the heck out of people.
Measles deaths declined dramatically...
