8/11 Now, nearly 30 years later, the devastating effects reveal themselves: measles cases in Europe at highest levels in 25 years, US cases at 33-year high. Last week, a child in Liverpool died from measles.

2/9 The deadly reality: Thursday, Ontario announced an infant born prematurely and infected with measles died in southwestern Ontario - the outbreak's first fatality.
Congenital measles can cause "severe complications, including inflammation of the brain and death."

3/12 Measles kills 1 in every 3,000 people and causes brain swelling leading to seizures, deafness, and brain damage. In the US, 40% of children with measles are hospitalized. It also causes "immune amnesia," wiping out 70% of antibodies.

9/15 The harsh mathematics of negligence: every 1,000 measles cases typically kill or brain-damage 2-3 children. "No parent wants to be part of those statistics," yet Alberta races into "that harrowing country" of preventable tragedy.

11/12 The human cost is devastating. Parents of a Texas girl who died from measles told Kennedy's anti-vax group they still oppose vaccination. The group grotesquely turned their grief into propaganda.

6/8 The consequences could be severe. Texas reported its second death in an unvaccinated child last week, while Ontario saw a young child die last year.
Between 1-3 out of every 1,000 people infected with measles will die, according to provincial data.
