zero reported measles deaths in the USA in over a decade
Yeah, the number is low because of vaccination, but this information is still untrue.
There have been numerous outbreaks of measles due to anti-vaxxers (https://www.cdc.gov/measles/cases-outbreaks.html), thankfully due to the United State's access to some of the best healthcare (which recommends vaccination btw) the vast majority of patients do not die (Plus measles is only really deadly towards very young children and immunocompromised children).
But somebody did die from pneumonia that came as a result of being infected by measles.

For every person that dies of measles, there are many times more who die of the measles vaccine.
Can you give an actual source to this claim?
People need to know all the information and make informed decisions.
The people who are informed choose to vaccinate.
Please keep in mind that measles was considered to be eliminated in the US by the CDC in 2000 due to the highly effective vaccination programs. A single case is considered to be completely unacceptable.
I have a good friend (real life, not virtual) who stopped breathing moments after her MMR vaccination, had to resuscitated, and spent months in the hospital recovering from the MMR vaccine. Her doctors acknowledged that it was the vaccine.
The VAERS database has many such reported cases, some resulting in death.
And vaccine reactions are greatly under-reported to VAERS.

Plus, there is the Vaccine Injury Court in the USA that has paid out millions of dollars for vaccine injury.

You know that using wikipedia as a serious source is a clear appeal to popularity, right? It is edited by anyone with a desire to do so.
