    Interesting - are media actually overstating the impact of 'anti-vaxxers'? http://www.sciencemediacentre.org/beware-creating-fake-news-on-mmr/ …

        No. •  “herd immunity” (...) lies at 95% • parents refusing one or more of their child’s vaccines remains at [just] 4% See: https://www.who.int/news-room/detail/29-11-2018-measles-cases-spike-globally-due-to-gaps-in-vaccination-coverage …

        Yes but the point made in the Science Media Centre blog was not to automatically assume low vaccination rates are due to antivaxx groups. Don't automatically give them the 'credit' - the implied importance is just what they want...

        I’ve been wondering about this. At New Scientist we surveyed 2,000 people at random about attitudes to science last year and vast majority supported vaccination

        Of-course they are. It's an attempt to divert attention from the the real reason infectious diseases like Measles, Mumps and Tuberculosis are on the rise in the US.
