900 people died of measles in Madagascar outbreak. Could that happen in the U.S.?

As public health officials monitor a measles outbreak in Washington state, WHO says a separate measles epidemic in Madagascar has killed hundreds.

bogleech:

Measles has killed almost a thousand people in Madagascar over only the last few months; the majority of them small children living in poverty with poorer access to medical care, and for every single death there are survivors disabled for life. Measles turns so much of your body into painful, weeping pustules that your organs can be permanently damaged. You can lose brain functionality forever. You can go blind or deaf. You can never walk right or breathe right ever again.

This is what millions of privileged, white hipster parents are bragging about exposing their children to “the natural way,” barely considering the fact that only their relative wealth will give their babies a marginally higher survival rate.
