Your bite-size dose of immunity against vaccine misinformation. Spread the truth
Did the death rate from measles in the United States decline by over 98% between 1900 and 1962, the year before the first measles vaccine was introduced?
According to the CDC’s data, the death rate from measles had already declined over 98% between 1900 and 1962, which was before the measles vaccine was introduced in the United States.
This official United States government data shows that in 1900, the rate of mortality from measles was 13.3 per 100,000 individuals and by 1960 it was 0.2 deaths per 100,000 individuals. The death rate was also 0.2 deaths per 100,000 individuals in 1961 and 1962. And the first measles vaccine did not come onto the market until 1963. Meaning, an over 98% decline in measles mortality between 1900 and the early 1960s before there was a measles vaccine.
If you like charts, the following is an official chart of measles mortality issued by the United States government showing the drop in measles mortality from 1900 to 1960. This chart was published before there was a measles vaccine — no doubt they would never publish such a chart today!

Well, that’s my definition of “herd immunity”, meaning enough people have been exposed for them to have developed natural resistence, including all the blood factors that identify and overpower potential pathogens. Thus, measles was not as threatening as before. Also, it’s important to consider that nutrition and sanitation might have figured, too, factors not easily assessed by broad spectrum government statistics.

Absolutely it was nutrition and sanitation that caused rates of ALL infectious diseases to drop in the 20th century.
