"...from 1956 to 1960, an average of 542,000 cases were reported annually.By the late 1950s, even before the introduction of measles vaccine, measles-related deaths and case fatality rates in the United States had decreased markedly, presumably as a result of improvement in health care and nutrition. From 1956 to 1960, an average of 450 measles-related deaths were reported each year (∼1 death/ 1000 reported cases), compared with an average of 5300 measles-related deaths during 1912–1916 (26 deaths/ 1000 reported cases) [2]."

1 death / 1000 = 0.1% '56 to 60
26 deaths/ 1000 = 2.6% 1912- 1916
You were saying under 2% were hospitalized.
Now you seem to be trying to change it from hospitalization to death?
Been a long time since my 4 years inside the halls of academic Medicine Death statistics are easier to find.
He is some from UK . Notice the decline in deaths just prior to vaccine development. Hygiene and Diet.

So where did you get the 2% hospitalization rate? Is that some number you just randomly remembered from way back when you were a student?
Again, that's rates of death. Not hospitalization.
You do know the difference, right?
Or is this just some really bizarre way of saying that everytime you were using that 2% hospitalization rate, you really meant 2% death rate.
Because that would be understandable. Everyone makes mistakes. But not everyone can admit it.
Nope .
Ok, then where are you getting that only 2% need to be hospitalized?
