        Only 1-3 in 1000 die. It can go up to 3-10% for developing country conditions.

          “Without vaccination, there would be 400,000 hospitalizations costing >$3 billion USD and >1,800 deaths annually” https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7188204/

          1 in 4 require hospitalization, according to the article. Somewhat surprised that hasn’t been scrubbed. And it’s entirely preventable.

            Pfft. NLM what do they now. But of doctors and scientists with their life long plan to cause measles. My musk feed says this is all fake news and vaccines cause the gays.

            Well… it would seem those same godless commies weren’t ACTUALLY communists. So now we don’t know WHAT to think! Fortunately, there seems to be a real lack of thinking in our “under God” nation anyhow… so, we got that!

              It’s almost like the vast majority of the country has been mushroom managed (kept in the dark and fed shit) since it’s inception.

              There’s a good reason the dept of education has been assailed by all comers since forever. Privatisation and politicisation of the education of the people; make good, stupid little drones for the corporate machine, either in a cubicle or on a battlefield.

              Those that refuse to conform, or are politically “undesirable” are run through the prison slavery pipeline instead.

              I sound like a conspiracy theory nutter, but this timeline is so utterly fucked, that it’s the truth. How batshit mental is that?

    The poor kids that have no choice are the ones suffering here, not the asshole parents.

    Let’s keep that in mind.

    I had it and as a child. I had a few days I wanted to die for some mental relief.

    Its pure torture.

      While this is true, not vaccinating is something more often found in conservative populations. And this problem is 100% caused by people who refused the vaccination that could have saved them.
