"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.
Well hell, let's just say that someone somewhere says they think 160,000,000 people were getting measles each year. That way, the percentage of people dying goes waaaaay down. 🤷♀️
No, they didn't. Nothing I've been reading is claiming 4,000,000 a year were getting measles before the measles vaccine.
Just to point it out, how do you think normies are going to react when you tell them that 4,000,000 a year were getting measles before the measles vaccine was invented.
Do you think that's going to make them think the measles vaccine is a bad thing?
Wow you are exactly correct I must have misremembered it ONLY 0.2 % Hospitalization.
Although you could never give any references for any of your bullshit . I have tired of playing. Here is you citation. Approved CE course.
"From 1989 to 1991, CDC reported 55,622 cases with 123 deaths, and 90% of cases were unvaccinated children. They stated: "Surveys in areas experiencing outbreaks among preschool-age children indicated that as few as 50% of children had been vaccinated against measles by their second birthday, and that black and Hispanic children were less likely to be age-appropriately vaccinated than were white children (CDC, Pink Book 2018.)"
Imagine that in 1989 to '91 50,060 unvaccinated cases with 123 deaths . And comes out to .2 %. Where have I heard that number before ?

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.

Did you ever rework your math problem?
Would be surprising.
8,000/4,000,000 = ?? What percentage is that ?
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 = ??
No, they didn't. Nothing I've been reading is claiming 4,000,000 a year were getting measles before the measles vaccine.

So you prefer to lie to them ?
You worry more about Fee Fees than truth, how liberal of you.
Not measles vaccine that is the problem. MMR is.
