The birth rate was about 4,000,000 a year during the 1952 to 1962 time period.
lets take it that the at risk population was only 10 X 4000000 or 40,000,000. At .017% that would be 6,800 dead during that period. The period between 1989 and now is 26 years, or 2.6 times the 10 years from 1952 to 1962. 2.6 X 6,800 gives you 17,680 dead, and this would be a very low number.
1000 or so dead or injured by the vax that saved at least 17,000.

Your data is incorrect. There were approximately 300 - 500 deaths per year in the decade prior to the vaccine with another 1000 injuries per year. Approximately 3 - 4 million per year caught measles.

Anyway, I’m not arguing that the vaccine is effective in preventing the disease. I’m just saying, in a free society I don’t believe you can force people to take a risk to minimize someone else’s. It’s concerning to me that any conservative is okay with this.
