Why measles is claiming lives in Samoa, but not in New Zealand

Name one person please

Its not prudent to trust WHO figures. it says 'estimate'. this involves assumptions. Very frequently they engage in fraud.

The anti-vaxxers should be held to account. These are avoidable deaths, the vaccine is available & if used comprehensively could wipe this disease off the face of the earth.

Who estimated?
