It was like that for all diseases from what I'v read. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1...?dopt=Abstract |
I guess I question this regarding measles because vaccination in developing countries is not widespread and effective, children are still getting immunity probably because more kids are breastfed than in developed countries. But their cases are not dropping and they are still dying. So how does that work there? It doesn't seem less severe at all to me. |
