Measles vaccination resulted in a 79% drop in measles deaths between 2000 and 2015 worldwide.
In 2015, about 85% of the world's children received one dose of measles vaccine by their first birthday through routine health services – up from 73% in 2000.
During 2000-2015, measles vaccination prevented an estimated 20.3 million deaths making measles vaccine one of the best buys in public health.

You're talking about malnourished people in the starving Third World, who simply need to keep up with their Vitamin A, give out Vitamin A supplements rather than risking leaving them disabled with an unsafe vaccine. If someone in Ethiopia is almost a skeleton with no food available, then Measles take them down it's quite unfair to count that as a Measles death; healthy well nourished people have no problem with Measles, back in my day we had Measles parties, we were all fine and it made our immune systems stronger.
The biggest question of all is why not just fix the vaccines and make them safe in the first place, invest money into that rather than spending it all on lobbying and marketing. The only explanation is that vaccine damage is desired by the pharmaceuticals, as they make money from sick people who need to buy their drugs.
