Those measles outbreaks in the US and Europe last year didn’t happen in areas of poor hygiene. Hygiene was fine in the 1980s/90s and Hib was killing 1K children a year in the US. It took the vaccine to stop it.

No vaccine is 100% effective, but the measles vaccine is damned good. During an outbreak, your chances of getting the measles is something like 25 times higher if you're unvaccinated against measles than if you've had the measles vaccine series.

Thank you for furthering the discussion. How do you explain the measles paradox and why people who were vaccinated even contracted the illness?
