How about you take a look over to Germany to see where we could go if we allow vaccination rates to drop. There are about 122-2308 cases of measles each year in Germany, some fatal, and the population of the USA is about 4x theirs. This would mean rates equivalent to 500-9000 cases each year. According to curl's stats, 1/1000 get encephalitis and 2/1000 cases are fatal (in the US). This would mean a rate of about 1-18 deaths per year if we allow vaccination rates to drop. Germany isn't some third world country... http://www.dw.de/measles-rise-sparks-vaccine-debate-in-germany/a-16932413 In just the last 4 months in Germany, there have been 375 cases of measles...this is a real problem http://www.dw.de/berlin-outbreak-blasts-hopes-of-eradicating-measles-in-germany-by-2015/a-18235648 PS: In some limited number of cases, the vaccine doesn't result in full immunity, which is just another reason why herd immunity is important. We need to keep our percentages above the herd immunity threshold to protect those who can't get vaccinated and those who didn't gain full immunity. |
the most cases come from schools for children of very special parents. rightwing, organic,vegan,alternative medicine.
homeopathy is very strong in the group of the highr educated without proper scientific education.
