I'm just holding some links and data here for future reference:

In the graph above, it is interesting that the first year for the number of cases to rise is 2007. AND the age group where that increase happened was 10-14 years old. AND therefore they would have been immunized in 1998-2002 which is the period of the MMR/austim controversy. I think this is strong evidence that the vaccines are the cause of reduced number of cases. Now this is in Japan but I suspect the mmr/austism news traveled there as well. Further in the discussion it mentions that this age group has more negative antibody measurements than other age groups.

I found that complications from measles was similar in adults as children (not infants--no discussion on that was found).
