Original Note:
The tweet refers to measles "cases," but the chart shows only deaths from measles. While improved critical care made measles a more survivable disease, it has other dangerous effects (and can still kill). Measles is still dangerous and spreads when vaccination rates fall. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2775295 https://www.cdc.gov/measles/about/history.html https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/measles
