Anyone know where RFK (or whoever) is getting this information about only 2% of measles cases needing hospitalization in 1960?
Because everything I can find is saying the hospitalization rate was around 25% of reported cases. There were around 500,000 reported cases in 1960, and estimates go as high as there being over 1,000,000 cases, but only half of them were reported (the other half being minor cases that didn't even need a doctor's visit.)
