Original Note:
Measles is deadly. In the decade prior to the vaccine "400 to 500 people died, 48,000 were hospitalized, and 4,000 suffered encephalitis (swelling of the brain) from measles" every year. In unvaccinated populations the mortality rate could be even higher. https://slate.com/human-interest/2015/02/history-of-measles-mortality-maps-from-a-time-before-vaccines.html
