It's worse than statistics would likely show. Apart from measles itself it resets the immune system (immune amnesia) making the individual vulnerable to lots of other diseases they were previously immune to.

Research analysing child mortality in Denmark shows that you get as many deaths from measles caused immune amnesia as from measles itself and the immune suppression/amnesia lasts for 2-3 years following the measles infection.

So a fair number of deaths from non-measles infections will actually be caused by the patient having caught measles (but not attributed to or counted within the measles statistics).

I may be mistaken but haven't the US stopped recording statistics?
I seem to remember reading something based mostly on the statistics not giving the desired results.

I was thinking earlier how is like an international version of our own forum pet troll. He does and says stupid stuff just to get himself attention and the best way to deal with it would be for everyone to simply ignore his unhinged comments. That said, as so many have a problem doing it with our own completely inconsequential version it is obviously not going to happen with someone whose utterances and actions unfortunately impact us all.

I came to that conclusion this morning after the draft dodging coward dropped his latest lot of insults on the European military.

Wake me up when the orange cǔnt or our resident twát…..sorry troll says something vaguely sensible.
Until then, both go on ignore.
Mind you, I could well be asleep longer than

Just in case you were thinking that the FBI has lost its professionalism under Kash Patel - don't be silly. (NYT article.)
