    Get more pissed:

    About 1 in 5 unvaccinated people in the U.S. who get measles is hospitalized.

    Encephalitis. About 1 child out of every 1,000 who get measles will develop encephalitis (swelling of the brain) that can lead to convulsions and can leave the child deaf or with intellectual disability.

    Death. Nearly 1 to 3 of every 1,000 children who become infected with measles will die from respiratory and neurologic complications.

    And there’s more!
