Your charts mask important statistics like this:
“a resurgence of measles occurred during 1989–1991, again demonstrating the serious medical burden of the disease. More than 55,000 cases, 123 deaths, and 11,000 hospitalizations were reported [7]. Two major causes of this epidemic were vaccine failure among a small percentage of school-aged children who had received 1 dose of measles vaccine and low measles vaccine coverage among preschool-aged children.”
(from here: http://jid.oxfordjournals.org/content/189/Supplement_1/S1.long
)
This represents 2.2 deaths per 1000 cases
20% of measles cases required hospitalization in that outbreak.
I presume you do not dispute the highly contagious nature of measles.
What happens when 1,000,000 kids get it because they listened to you and were left unvaccinated? Well you can count on the death rate being much higher than 2.2/1000 - because the hospitals would be overwhelmed, but disregarding that, it would be 22,000 kids dead - preventable.
So you show a profound ignorance of disease, and these statistics mask significant outbreaks that killed children in large numbers in the US.
Why not plot measles vaccine deaths per 100,000 along with this? Because that is a vanishingly small number.
“What happens when 1,000,000 kids get it because they listened to you and were left unvaccinated?”
What are you talking about? Why the hyperbole? This is nonsense. School age children -where the outbreaks occurred, are required to have measles vaccinations. No shot record, no school. Same with day care. I said (wrote) nothing about school kids not being vaccinated. I said infants.
We vaccinated our daughter at 4 1/2 right before she started Pre-K. Before that she stayed home. No daycare. She’s a bright and joyous girl. She has no disabilities, behavioral issues or food intolerances unlike many of her friends.
