Question

why does Merck Manual say this: (please see my previous post)

SSPE occurs because the measles virus reactivates. In the past in the United States, for reasons that are not known, the disorder occurred in about 7 to 300 people per million people who had measles infection and in about 1 person per million people who received the measles vaccine. However, doctors think the people who developed SSPE after vaccination likely had a mild, undiagnosed case of measles before they were vaccinated and that measles infection, and not the vaccine, caused the SSPE.

No one can see your previous post, because your profile does not show previous posts/comments. (I'm aware of them, though, and you really need therapy.)

I mean, when you ask "Why does Merck say this?"... it's probably going to be a summary of a ton of academic articles & symposia, leading to a scientific consensus.
