> So, after vaccines started, measles mortality grew an order of magnitude worse? (According to presumably conservative government's estimate). Am I the only one who thinks, that anti-vaxing has nothing to do with perceived safety of vaccines, and mostly reflects perceived safety of vaccine facilitators?
You imply that vaccines cause that increase, but wouldn't a more plausible explanation be that people who contract measles despite being vaccinated are more likely to be people with subpar immune systems?
- nbabitskiy 7y agoNo, I don't imply that vaccines caused the increase, however, the NYT writers make it seem that vaccination caused it. Also the article doesn't say what part of added mortality is amid the vaccinated people. If your reading was correct, and doctors killed 7-15 times as many as nature, because they vaxed kids unfit for vaccination, it would make the argument much worse; but the authors didn't say that.
