Can we talk about what the hell is going on here with RFK & MMR Vax?

When the hospitalization rate was below 2% in the 1960's and death very rare they finally got the vaccine .
Where is this 2% coming from? I'm seeing 25% in what I'm reading.
Neither I nor any friends were ever hospitalized.
Well, I'm happy that you and your friends didn't have to be hospitalized.
Has absolutely zero to do with what the hospitalization rate was/is, but yeah, happy to know that...
25% from AI listing for current cases.
Interesting that the same percentage of cases need hospitalization now for measles that they did back in the 1960s.
(I didn't get my info from AI, though.)
Is that where you got your original 2% number from? AI?
post the reference I'm glad to be proven wrong
(I didn't get my info from AI, though.)
These references
"It is estimated that, prior to the current vaccine, the reported U.S. incidence was at least 12,000 measles-related deaths each year and up to 4 million people were infected annually. Among the reported cases of measles, 8,000 were hospitalized and a thousand suffered encephalitis as a serious and often fatal complication. Up to 75% of measles deaths were of children younger than 5 years old. Prior to the 1950s, nearly all children got the measles and developed active immunity from the active disease (unless they died)."
4,000,000 infected annually. 8,000 Hospitalized Again It's 2 %
Sorry it took so long to locate my most recent source.
The 4,000,000 estimate for measles cases is pretty high.
Reported cases of measles peaked right around 1960 at around 500,000. Though obviously there would be many unreported cases, as I said earlier.
But I've never seen anything saying that there were 4,000,000 cases of measles annually, even estimating unreported cases.
That's the thing with compiling statistics. You don't just use some arbitrary number someone pulled out of their ass. You compare reported hospitalized cases to reported cases.
It's Staistics 101.
"compare reported hospitalized cases to reported cases." and leave out the vast majority of cases that are never more than annoyances.
It's epidemiology 1.
Also, you need to recheck your math. 8,000 out of 4,000,000 is not 2%.
Ok, and where exactly did that come from? It's just a copy/paste. From where?
Same place your references came from
What is 8,000/4,000,000 = ??
