Original Note:
While it is true that measles' deaths have been rare, largely due to high vaccination rates, the claim about 90 deaths from the measles vaccine reported to VAERS needs to be understood in the context of the limitations of VAERS data. VAERS reports aren't verified. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26004568/ https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2815786 https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/vaccines/mmr/mmr-studies.html https://www.idsociety.org/public-health/measles/know-the-facts/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1071313/
