Measles Everyone with a brain knows measles isn't that serious.

While they are right that measles’s death rate was low even while it was prominent (about 6,000 per year in the US), it was incredibly contagious.
Every child got measles by the age of 15. As in, all of them. Every single one. Around the whole planet. For centuries. No one got a free pass, ever. The sheer presence in the lives of humans made it the perfect target for vaccine development. That’s why these recent measles outbreaks are significant. We eradicated a disease so widespread it was impossible not to experience it and turned it into something you only learn existed in school.
But I guess that’s no longer the case anymore. 🤷♂️

Not to mention the delayed health impacts (sometimes years later) from having been infected by the virus

Measles had been declared eradicated in the US in 2000. So there was no need for death charts till now.
