Measles still has a 2-3% death rate in the US today and 30% in turd world countries and a 90% infection rate in non-vaccinated populations

That death rate would be higher if the vaccination rates were lower.

Measles also causes miscarriage, premature birth and low birth weight.

Not sure where you got these statistics, but as far as I can see the rate is more like 0.3%.

No, it would not. The percentage of deaths is determined by the health/environmental factors of the infected population. Once the disease is contracted, being vaccinated or not makes no difference as vaccination is not a treatment and has no effect on the course of the disease. The raw numbers would naturally increase with the increased number of infections, but the death percentage would remain unchanged.

I heard it also causes global warming....
