"In the case of measles we have a highly contagious virus that is a
leading cause of death and disability in young children. Fortunately, it
is also completely preventable with a simple and effective vaccine. As
the WHO points out – this is one of the most cost effective and highest
benefit-to-risk ratio health interventions that humans have devised. The
world-wide vaccine campaign has saved an estimated 17.1 million
children deaths from measles in the last 14 years.
"Denial of these facts, and fear-mongering about vaccines, directly results in the death of children."
Measles More Deadly than Previously Thought
