BTW IF...IF there were no deaths due to measles...maybe its because so many were vaccinated and never got it? |
Everyone I went to school with were vaccinated and we still got the measles and Chicken Pox. No one died.
One of my classmates got polio from his polio vaccine. He isn't the only person that got polio from vaccines either.
