You just need to take a breath of air in a large, general area where they were to be infected, and your odds of dying from it after infection are somewhere around 1/100 (esp for high risk populations, e.g. the infants that cannot be vaccinated).
right out of your ass.
Actual studies I cited claim
Quote:
Since nearly 90% of measles cases are not reported to the CDC, the result is a case-fatality rate of 1 in 10,000 for all measles cases. It is important to measure disease risks based on total measles cases, not just the 10% of cases that are reported.
- orders of magnitude less then your uneducated estimate.
You then come back to cite studies that show
Quote:
That roughly translates into about one death for every 1,000 cases, or a case-fatality rate of about 0.1%.
still an order above your own guesstimate.
My previous point remains - people should read actual studies and statistics that are widely available before making a decision. As opposed to just taking the obviously uninformed word of a vaccine warrior on a gun forum.
In addition to studying the risk of contracting a disease and its consequences, I would hope people would study several sources of actual studies on the risks of different vaccines. I wouldn't take my word for it either - it is up to the individual - not the govt to make these decisions.
