Yes, rubella can be lethal. Nearly all deaths from rubella occur in infants or unborn fetuses. Prior to the introduction of the vaccine in the late 1960s, it was a common childhood disease and a very significant cause of birth defects and stillbirths.

It is very unlikely that *you* will die from it, even if you are exposed to it and not already protected through vaccination. Adults with normal immune systems will recover, but women can infect their baby and anyone else may infect a pregnant woman. That's why the vaccine remains in use.

How did you cure measles in the 1700s?

There was no cure for measles in the 1700s, and no cure now in the 21st century, only prevention. Prevention is by getting a vaccination. Measles is very dangerous. A person can die from the measles. Early symptoms are similar to the flu: fever, runny nose, cough, etc. Next red spots appear on the face, and then more on the torso, arms and legs. Bright light will hurt the victim's eyes. Antibiotics can help to keep other sicknesses at bay during measles, but cannot cure measles.
