That figure is real hard to refute, or square with any other cause of reduction of measles infections except vaccination.

That's true -- though the figure you're linking focuses specifically on measles cases rather than overall mortality, which is what the OP article is focusing on.

(as an aside, it's really weird that the (first few) comments here on HN seem a little adversarial; I wonder if maybe some people looked at the headline only and assumed it was attempting some sort of anti-vax argument, which the article isn't doing at all.)

>>DanAnd+iL
The problem is that anti-vaxxers will use the headline as their entire justification for their opinion which is not supported by the content under the headline.
