      The "new" way is probably the old way: if you can't persuade them, use force. Meanwhile, 127+ children are getting robust, lifelong immunity the old way. And how many adverse vaccine reactions have there been? It's a trade-off. Let parents decide.https://twitter.com/AmeshAA/status/1097852042490593280 …

      Parents should be responsible enough to protect their children from preventable diseases that have a potential for serious complications and in rare cases death. Measles out breaks are pointing out the importance of herd immunity. Is 1/1000 death ok to prevent 1/1,000,000 neg rxn

      Replying to @rlamartini

      The numbers are not precisely known, and the calculation is (1/1000?) x risk of getting measles (1 in a million??) compared with (risk of serious vaccine reaction) x (number of children vaccinated). Second may be >> first. Answer varies depending on many factors.

      I wonder how they manage to keep the incidence of measles so low. Is there some sort of vaccine?

      Replying to @Takethatdoctors @rlamartini

      Smallpox vaccine too dangerous to use now because disease gone. Measles virtually gone in US--need vigilance, but risk still very low. Let people decide based on current circumstances and honest info about vaccine, which NOW kills more people than measles.

      We keep asking your ilk to provide us with just one medically confirmed case of a death from vaccines in this century, yet not a one of you has done so. Your claim of over 100 MMR deaths is completely bogus.

      Indeed. I keep telling her "Citation(s) required." Not surprisingly, she never provides even one.

          You rely on blacklists and disregard any citations that question CDC; there is a huge volume of them. $4 billion in damages have been awarded by Vaccine Court.

          She's had days to reply with the references and has failed to do so. No surprise.
