As low as 8% 98%
1 Measles vaccination resulted in a 75% drop in measles deaths between 2000 and 2013 worldwide. 2  In 2013, about 84% of the world's children received one dose of measles vaccine by their first birthday through routine health services – up from 73% in 2000. Measles. Before the vaccine, nearly everyone in the United States got measles. There were roughly 3 million to 4 million cases each year, and an average of 450 measles-associated deaths reported annually between 1953 and 1963. More than 90 percent of people who are not immune will get measles if they are exposed to the virus. 1 The death rate for measles went down about 98% before vaccination. 2  The severity of measles went down prior to vaccination (A common occurrence in all developed countries). 3  The percentage of individuals having measles was less than 50% and perhaps as low as 8% before vaccination against measles began. 1 Nearly everyone in the U.S. got measles before there was a vaccine, and hundreds died from it each year. 2  Today, most doctors have never seen a case of measles. 3  More than 15,000 Americans died from diphtheria in 1921, before there was a vaccine. Conclusion: Measles incidence in the pre-vaccine era had declined from the pre-sanitation era by at least 50% (as a percentage of children over age one) and as much as 90% before measles vaccination began. In the case of measles, the death rate had declined by almost 100 percent (before the introduction of the vaccine.). Analysis of the data shows this often-repeated mantra that vaccines were key in the decline of infectious disease deaths is a fallacy. 1 FACT: In 1900 there were 13.3 measles deaths per 100,000 population. 2  By 1955, the death rate was 0.03 deaths per 100,000, a decline of 97.7% , eight years before the first measles shot. 3  The death rate from measles in the mid-1970’s (post-vaccine) remained exactly the same as in the early 1960’s (pre-vaccine). Measles can be prevented with the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine. One dose of MMR vaccine is about 93% effective at preventing measles if exposed to the virus, and two doses are about 97% effective.
