What % of kids who gets measles died from it?

I got measles, Chicken pox, then shingles twice. No problem. Suffer through it.

1 flu shot and I’ve been sick for 15 years. Measles are not smallpox, not polio. We can live with measles and chicken pox. Let’s not weaken the human race by giving a questionable vaccine for every damn non deadly disease or sniffles

About .5% in the USA die. More in less developed countries, where complication rates are much higher (28%).

Blindness, brain damage, pneumonia, etc. are fairly common, in the USA and, again, more in the third world.

My great uncle was blinded by measles before WWII, and so was immediately sent to a death camp when the Nazis took over.
