I cannot say what IS causing the outbreaks. I don't have to. If you say A causes B then it's on you to justify that claim, not on me to prove that you're wrong. It's no better than asking "what does cause autism?"

And my issue is primarily with the assertion that the recent outbreaks are due to antivax sentiment: a claim that's not justified.

Now, can you provide scientifically robust data justifying the claim that vaccination rates, or topology, have changed?

The problem with using NIS data is that it's not always possible to get granular detail on pockets of vaccine-refusal, and these are the biggest issues in terms of disease outbreaks

This is because herd immunity is compromised below a threshold, which for measles is extremely high. So a relatively small number of kids who aren't vaccinated can infect quite a few people
