Seit wann sind Kinderkrankheiten "schreckliches Leid"? Bis auf ganz wenige
Ausnahmen verlaufen die Masern bei Kindern ohne jegliche Probleme und
erzeugen, ganz im Gegensatz zur Impfung, tatsächlich lebenslange
Immunität.

In emergencies, immunizing children against measles is among the most cost-effective preventive public health measures – particularly for displaced
populations housed in camps.

A large share of global measles deaths occur in countries undergoing or recovering from complex emergencies, those where large numbers of civilians are affected by war or civil strife, food shortages or displacement. Infection rates soar because damage to infrastructure and health services interrupts routine immunization.
In 2002 alone, measles killed some 614,000 children worldwide. There were some 30 million cases of measles globally that year
