[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [i]"If your children are vaccinated, why do you care?"[/i] Because you have no idea how all of this works. [i]"You can only control yourself."[/i] Actually, when it comes to public health, we do have more avenues. We also have the court of public opinion. We will continue to use it. [/quote] Herd immunity protects those who cannot be vaccinated. I care about those people. When we no longer have herd immunity, the people I care about are at risk.[/quote] It also protects those affected by the vaccine failure rate. Even with 2 vaccinations given at appropriate times, approximately 0.3-3% will have failure to respond. Assume conservatively it's 1%. VA, MD, and DC have a combined population of about 15.5 million. Even if literally everyone there was vaccinated, the failure rate would leave somewhere around 150,000 or more people unprotected. Across the country, that would be about 3.5 million people. [/quote]
