However, by the early 1960's(before the Measles vaccine was used in the U.S.(1967 I believe) the death rate from measles was about 3 in 100,000 cases. People with proper nutrition(especially those with an adequate amount of Vitamin A and Vitamin C)do not die from measles.

In 1963, there were about 450 deaths from measles. Meanwhile, about 12,000 people died from stomach ulcers. Just over 43,000 people died from car accidents in 1963. Over 700,000 people died from heart disease.

Your math is faulty. If in 1963 there were 450,000 cases of measles with 450 deaths, how is that 3 in 100,000?
