      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

      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?

      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.

      Virtually gone in the US =/= Gone There were 110,000 measles deaths in 2017.

      Am a supporter of the AAPS but don’t agree with this anti vaccine opinion. The rest of their views are all about saving the doctor patient relationship which has almost been killed by government, insurance companies and big healthcare systems. We fight for the sake of patients

      They also deny anthropogenic climate change. They are very anti-science.

      They're also all in with #MAGA, publishing articles in their "journal" blaming immigrants for bringing disease and crime into the US.

          What’s wrong with #MAGA after the harm that the government has done to healthcare? The ACA made healthcare more expensive & less accessible. That’s a fact. Intermediaries influencing healthcare only made it worse. Doctors & patients could turn things around. #DirectPatientCare

          Okay, fine. Let's drop ACA and go to single payer like the rest of the civilized world.
