evidence: Article wrongly claims that measles vaccine claims more lives than measles infection, misinterprets epidemiological data Measles infection resulted in an estimated 2.6 million deaths worldwide every year before the vaccine was introduced in 1963. The claim that the measles vaccine has caused more deaths than the measles infection is inaccurate and based on a flawed interpretation of epidemiological data. [...] This article, originally published by Natural News, has also been reproduced by Global Research. In its headline, it claims that the measles vaccine has killed more people than measles infections, and that data from the CDC proves this. The CDC data it cites is from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database. A search of the database for all deaths reported after measles vaccination, including single and combination vaccines, from 1990 (when the database was established) to May 2019 turned up 90 cases, and not 108 as reported in the article.
