The largest measles outbreak in decades has reached San Antonio and San Marcos. Officials say an individual who tested positive for the virus in West Texas traveled to two major universities and one of the nation's busiest tourist attractions — the San Antonio River Walk.

        Only 1-3 in 1000 die. It can go up to 3-10% for developing country conditions.

          “Without vaccination, there would be 400,000 hospitalizations costing >$3 billion USD and >1,800 deaths annually” https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7188204/

          1 in 4 require hospitalization, according to the article. Somewhat surprised that hasn’t been scrubbed. And it’s entirely preventable.

            I just had a heartless thought that I sort of have mixed emotions about.

            If the warranty on my car can be cancelled because I never do preventative maintenance, why does my insurance premium keep going up to defray the cost of people who won’t engage in preventative medicine?
