I’m asking why you would oppose people speaking out against the anti-vax movement regardless of any other mysterious causes of outbreaks in areas with high school vaccine exemption rates like we have repeatedly seen? How would that benefit anybody doing that?

Because the
#ubervax movement is a bunch of half educated, half baked tools, who don't know the first thing about epidemiology, and who are too busy looking for an easy answer to this problem.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -
Half-educated? Now I’m gonna ask for those credentials, playboy.

About 12,000 hours of formal college training, spanning much of STEAM, including the mathematics necessary to understand epidemiology.

Do you even have a basic grasp of probability and graph theory? What about dynamical systems? Differential equations?

If you don't understand those topics, you can't properly understand epidemiology. In any case, I have more formal education than a person who might burn through a doctorate degree. It's spread out, because I went for breadth. But that allows me to see the bigger picture.

Well, I'm an epidemiologist and I'd say that your analysis is based on some inaccurate assumptions, and you're mostly fighting a strawman because of it. Anti-vax sentiment is not the 'only' cause of kids not getting vaccinated, and this is well-recognized in the literature

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?

What an odd thing to ask. Of course they have. Washington state has a massive year-on-year variation. Whether vaccination rates have "changed" is not the question
