A visual argument for vaccines, in five tweets:

This #infographic from the @nytimes tells a clear story of the comparative risks of measles and the MMR vaccine. Like many of the best of the genre it's (fairly) simple and packs a visual punch.
Here's your risk of becoming ill or dying of #measles vs the risk of the MMR #vaccine (also no contest)
