        Only 1-3 in 1000 die. It can go up to 3-10% for developing country conditions.

          “Without vaccination, there would be 400,000 hospitalizations costing >$3 billion USD and >1,800 deaths annually” https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7188204/

          1 in 4 require hospitalization, according to the article. Somewhat surprised that hasn’t been scrubbed. And it’s entirely preventable.

    If I was religious, I probably wouldn’t be too far from thinking that a biblical plague hitting the country every time The Führer was elected was some kind of sign…

    The poor kids that have no choice are the ones suffering here, not the asshole parents.

    Let’s keep that in mind.

    I had it and as a child. I had a few days I wanted to die for some mental relief.

    Its pure torture.
