Herd Immunity?  Please make an excuse for this where 100% were vaccinated with measles vacine and still over 50% got measles.  http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00000359.htm?mobile=nocontent  

Iam just showing others that don't know why some don't vacinate or partial vacinate reasons why and a differnt point of view.  We can go back and forth tell the end of days on both of our reasoning and Again this is about forcing people to get vacines without a choice not about banning vacines and Again ZERO MEASEALES DEATHS IN USA IN THE LAST 10 YEARS.  Yes partialy due to vacines but also cleaner society and way better health care. Also measles clears up on its own and was purposely spead like chickenpox was when I was a kid once you get it shouldn't get it again.  Measles is not DEADLY, it when the 6% infected get Pneumonia that's when the Pneumonia can kill elderly or infants WITHOUT going to hospital.

If the students had not been vaccinated, those 21 cases could have been 200, and more severe ones as well, as even diminished immunity is associated with milder illness.

This case is an example of herd immunity limiting the scope of an outbreak.

Measles IS a deadly disease. It killed 145,000 people in 2013 alone; about 400 every day. http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs286/en/

From your link:

"About 1 in 1,000 people with measles get encephalitis, a serious brain infection. Measles illness during pregnancy can cause early labor, miscarriage, and low birth weight infants. Measles in people with AIDS or weak immune systems can be very severe. In the U.S. people can still die from measles (about 2 per 1,000, usually related to pneumonia or encephalitis)."
