      And you are getting outbreaks of measles and risking your children's brains and ears. So be it for your own unfortunate kids, but don't risk mine and everyone else's

      I don’t see your background in immunology or any medical degrees/PhDs/DPhils in your bio? What’s your background to tell someone with significant training they haven’t? Can you link to the peer reviewed studies? Seems you left an emoji instead.

      Let me break it down for you. You need almost 100% vax rate to have herd immunity by vaccine Our current number of vaccinated adults according to the cdc is less than 70%.. There is no herd immunity. So instead of talking down to people, do some simple research

      You're talking about the yearly rate for the seasonal influenza vaccine there. Rates for most other vaccines - I.e. DTaP, MMR, HBV - are much higher in the US at around 90-95%

          Thanks - the CDC is not the easiest place to search for data! But some really interesting stuff on their website about the problems getting widespread uptake by community/ethnicity/socioeconomic class etc

          Oh? Then you are incorrect. 90-95% for most routine vaccines unless we're talking specific disadvantaged groups
