13. By including everything back to 1954, the scale makes it a little hard to see what's happening.

Try this:

SOURCE: CDC

Note:
1. The incidence of measles outbreaks is increasing, and
2. The incidence of them being IMPORTED is DECREASING. (ie-more domestic outbreaks of measles.)

Here's what I find interesting about the graph. Wakefield published his dumbass paper in 1998. So, why does the incidence of measles only start to spike ten years later in 2008? Because THAT'S the year Jenny McCarthy started her activism.

Believing a fraudulent physician who fakes evidence to get his name in a LANCET article is one thing, but that's not what happened. These days, people would rather get their medical advice from a frikkin' Playboy centerfold. That's what I find really disturbing.

The foreshortened scale also makes it hard to see what's happening. 1988-1991 there was also El_Johns Jan 2014 #20
