«Like many others of her generation around the world, the flight attendant, who has not been identified, received only one dose of the measles vaccine when she was a child.

It wasn’t discovered until later that one dose is only about 93% effective. More recently — in the United States, starting in 1989 — children have been given two doses, which is about 97% effective, according to the CDC.»

I can hear it now: “clearly, if she had gotten measles as a child, she’d be ok now.”

«Additionally, 1 or 2 out of 1,000 US children who get measles will die from it. Worldwide, the illness is fatal in 1 or 2 out of every 100 children.»

I guess… as long as it’s somebody else’s kid, especially a stranger’s, it’s ok?

(Yes, I did the Twitter scrambled-case thing. I’m sorry.)
