What happened to measles? (Page 7): What other interpretation could there be to the quote "I hope that each of these selfish people get hard measles and polio."?

Something must have changed!

When we were kids, there was no social media, so reports of the complications of measles was not widespread. From NIM: The most severe complications of measles are blindness, pneumonia, and encephalitis, leading to case fatality rates ranging from 0.1% in industrial countries to 15% in developing countries [7, 8]. Severe complications of measles are more common in children under 5 years and adults older than 20 years old.

Now we have the anti-vaxers and children from other countries that do not have a high vax rate coming in and infecting unvaxed children, so it is becoming more of a risk. Though death is a very small percentage, it is nonetheless real to the involved families.

One person? You should have made that clear in your post rather than make it a blanket statement for many. As it is, measles is being brought across the border by many illegal immigrants. Those not protected will be vulnerable to this new wave of this dangerous disease.

As recipients of the Darwin awards the anti-vaxers will eventually be weeded out.

So how did humans survive before vaccines without being weeded out?

See my post above. There were many more "abortive" infections (40,000) which had minor symptoms. However, 51 children were paralyzed and five died. See the links that I provided. Bottom line, however, it was a production error and not a problem with the design of the vaccine by Salk.

So now we have the whole story but production errors do happen. Many people are nervous about production errors such as the Boeing aircraft failures.

The measles, plague, and other infectious diseases are coming across our southern border daily. We used to quarantine people to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. What happened?

I'd tell you but it would be political and Admin would come down on me.

To those ardent anti-vaxers, no amount of reason, logic or scientific data can deter them from their delusions about efficacy or dangers of vaccinations. Remember polio? Well that was pretty much wiped out by vaccination. One thing that can't be prevented or cured: Stupid.

Probably coming across the border along with TB and other diseases that were no longer an issue in the country.

Yes, blame it on the immigrants rather than the ignorant antivaxers where the blame belongs. That moronic logic is a primary reason this version of the USA is so screwed.
