1980 was the highest death rate of all time and not typical. That was worldwide.
The 3 to 4 million refers to cases not deaths
Cdc reports deaths in the us are about .1% of cases.
That comes out to 3 thousand deaths per year in the us before the vaccine.
Plenty of other sites report 300-400 deaths per year in the us before the vaccine.
In the us measles has never been a major cause of mortality. Still you are correct. Worldwide death rates are much higher than I was aware.
But Sam, maybe I have a bit of paranoia, but the disproportionate amount of your posts directed to me all over the CR is beginning to make me think you are looking for some kind of retribution for my previous criticism of you. I’m just imagining that, right?
