      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

      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.

      110000+ measles deaths last year.

      World wide of course. A single large outbreak could kill thousands here. The only thing preventing this is high vaccine rates.

      Yes, worldwide. But the anti-vax nutters never acknowledge the fact that no two places in the world are further apart than 27 hours by air. Given how contagious measles is even before symptoms appear, distance is not a protection.

      Interesting that there's not same level of panic about Ebola--no liability-free product to push.

          Don't evoke Ebola in this. First off, thankfully there are vaccines available now. Second, the likelihood of Ebola spreading here is far less than that of measles spreading here - which it already has. 3rd, the reproduction number for Ebola is actually lower than measles. Stfu

          Read the news some time. See the effort being put in to fight Ebola. And then realise that Ebola is hundreds of times less virulent than measles. Measles is probably the most contagious disease ever.

          What an incredibly specious argument. Considering the fact that you have to come into contact with bodily fluids to catch Ebola, as opposed to measles, which you can catch just by breathing the same AIR as a measles patient. AND, measles has a 90% transmission rate.

          Ebola does not spread very well. R0 is low, about 1.5-2.5 people get infxn before transmission from host is negated. Measles is most infectious disease known. R0 is 3.7-203.3 depending on the estimate, but true value likely to be highest of all diseases. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(17)30307-9/fulltext …

          Considering one is airborne and the other you basically need to lick an infected person to get, someone with integrity wouldn't compare them. Good to see you publicly admit to not having any integrity.

          You really have no business practicing medicine. You seriously don't remember the Ebola scare four years ago? I was a teacher then and I had students terrified they were going to die from Ebola.
