The Measles -- Shit's Gettin' Real Yo!
After doing a quick bit of research into this whole measles fiasco, it turns out that approximately 1 in 500,000 Americans have caught the measles this past year, during the current "major outbreak!"
Now I know those numbers sound terrifying, I mean FUCK! That's 2 people in every 1 million that get it (like 20 people in every 10 million)! Those odds are insanely-insane, that you won't catch it next! But it gets even crazier! How much crazier you may be asking yourself?
Well, not just this past year, but let's look at the past 10 years, as this measles outbreak has reached ridiculous levels in the United States!!! ...
In the past 10 years in the United States alone, 1,500 American's have contracted the measles (that's an average of 1 in every 2 million people catching it yearly!!!) -- with an unbelievable ZERO deaths recorded, all of which were related to catching this horrifyingly deadly disease!! ZERO deaths! That means NONE of them could have been you, or no American friend you have, since these are US stats!
However, in all seriousness... ONLY 106 people have died as a result of getting the measles vaccine the past 10 years! But we'll just sweep those numbers under the rug, cause "hey, those numbers mean shit" That's just prevention bullshit, it has nothing to do with actually catching it the real way!
Compared to years ago (many years ago), when the measles was taking people down by the 1000's, this isn't a disease that takes people out that have the luxuries of things like electricity, running water, aaahhh soap. So unless you live in a 3rd world country, the measles in 2015 is nothing more than a cold with a rash (or the same as any rough Saturday, after a wild Friday night downtown).
So based on stats go get vaccinated, especially if you're in the US, times are tough and the government and hospitals need your money..so show your support and give your life (I'm sure they have a fucking shelf, with a ton of medals on it somewhere, just for that).
BTW...What the fuck happened to Ebola? I guess that whole fear mongering bullshit just didn't really catch on like they hoped...
and hey, one more note...the fucking flu, it takes out up to 50k people in the US yearly...but let's be afraid and get vaccinated over something doesn't kill a single person in the United States anymore.
