      Funny how antivaccine activists dismiss the possibility of death due to measles (~1 in 1,000) as being of little or no consequence; yet, a one in a million chance of severe reactions to a vaccine is completely unacceptable to them.

      Hmmm I agree with where you are coming from, but that’s a false argument. Everyone has to be exposed to the vaccine risk, but not everyone is exposed to measles... need to multiply to 1/1000 by the probability of being exposed to measles... and if everyone *else* is vaccinated...

          And the probability of being exposed to measles increases non-linearly as the proportion of those vaccinated goes down. We need herd immunity to protect those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons.

          Of course... but if *everyone else* vaccinated their kids, and the vaccine is 100% effective then (and only then) it is less risk to not vaccinate your one kid (as long as everyone else keeps vaccinating)... the problem with that selfish attitude is...

          So your argument is that everyone else needs to be vaccinated to protect you if you’re not. That’s actually the pro-vax argument, to vaccinate as many people as possible to protect those few people who can’t have the vaccine.

          Tsk tsk. I am (generally) in favour of vaccines... I am currently cautious w.r.t. the flu vaccine specifically, and I am therefore against mandatory annual flu vaccinations as a condition of employment (currently being considered by my wife’s employer)

          That is not a false argument and you are clearly not qualified. Stop spreading dangerous misinformation. Shut down your account. We docs are sick of it.
