That baby suffered a slow death too.

Measles is one of the most contagious viruses; 90% of unprotected people exposed to it will catch it. Here is what measles does to infants.

Common and Severe Risks for Infants

• Pneumonia: Up to 1 in 20 children with measles develops pneumonia, which is the most frequent cause of death from the virus. [1]
• Dehydration: High fevers and severe diarrhea can quickly drain a baby's fluids. [1, 2]
• Encephalitis: About 1 in 1,000 children develops brain swelling, which can cause seizures or leave permanent intellectual disabilities and deafness. [1]
• Immune amnesia: The virus wipes out the body's prior immune memories, making a baby more vulnerable to other dangerous bacteria and viruses for months or years after recovery. [1, 2]
• Death: Estimates show that 1 to 3 out of every 1,000 infected children will die from respiratory or neurological complications. [1, 2]

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I guess Americans will need to determine how scared of vaccines they are.
