Further, the mortality rate is 0.2 percent in those who do contract it. Most patients with uncomplicated measles will recover with rest and supportive treatment within a few days. Exactly WHY is this sch a global focus?
Actually, in the 10 years prior to the vaccine the mortality rate was 0.017% with a further permanent injury rate of 0.033%
Because even a 1%-2% risk of death or permanent injury (blindness, deafness, mental impairment, etc) is unacceptable when it can be easily avoided by the application of modern science.
(We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men)
Your sigline just broke my irony meter.
