Your information on measles CFR is way off.

Your information on measles CFR is way off. Prior to the '64 measles vaxx, there were @ 4 million infections among children in the U.S. every year, almost all mild or asymptomatic, with about 400 deaths. Almost all of these deaths were in institutionalized adults-(with prisoner of war like diets), where the vaccine was originally tested. Globally, the WHO admits that their measles death numbers are guesstimates based on excess mortality and rates of vaccination- which is why Ukraine had a "measles epidemic" when they were in a civil war.
Yes i think you are correct. My stats were off. Measles has a relatively low CFR in the modern era. But there were many millions of cases. So why the vax then?
After polio, every childhood disease, no matter how mild (ie mumps) would be targeted. The first measles vcxx was a stand alone, but when the MMR was marketed ten or fifteen years later, the measles vax was declared ineffective, and the new booster recommended. I write at length about this in my MMR chapter in Mandatory Vaccinations= Totalitarian Inoculation.
But I was just emailing with an infectious disease physician professor at a New york medical medica college and he said that there were tens of thousands of hospitalizations for measles. There were thousands of cases of encephalitis some of which resulted in permanent brain damage.
Measles is rarely tested for, with a dozen or more pathogens that can case skin eruptions and encephalitis. There are at least 20 variants of measles. Disney Measles Mania- 2015, with tens of thousands possibly exposed over the Measles Mickey infection window, resulted in 160 or so cases from an Asian variant. Almost half the measles cases in the US that year, when tested much later by a Canadian lab were positive for the vaccine strain.
