[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're vaccinated, it shouldn't matter. If you're not, well, good luck. [/quote]

Also, there is a failure rate for all vaccines. It's low enough to not matter if there is sufficient herd immunity, but you knew that. People have been telling you that for decades, but you don't listen. Why? I don't know.

[quote][b]Measles Vaccine Efficacy[/b]

- Antibodies develop in approximately 95% of children vaccinated at age 12 months and over 99% of children who receive 2 doses

Immunity long-term and probably lifelong in most persons

Measles antibodies develop in approximately 95% of children vaccinated at age 12 months. Seroconversion rates are similar for single-antigen measles, MMR vaccine, and MMRV vaccine. Approximately 2% to 7% of children who receive only 1 dose of MMR vaccine fail to respond to it, i.e., they experience primary vaccine failure. MMR vaccine failure can occur because of passive antibody in the vaccine recipient, immaturity of the immune system, damaged vaccine, or other reasons. Most persons who fail to respond to the first dose will respond to a second dose. Studies indicate that more than 99% of persons who receive 2 doses of measles vaccine (with the first dose administered no earlier than the first birthday) develop serologic evidence of measles immunity.

Let's say the failure rate is 0.3%. The US population is about 338 million. Out of 330 million, 0.3% is still 990,000 -- or close to a million.

It's a very good vaccine, but there is a failure rate, and there are immunocompromised people, and little babies. You know this, but for some reason, you just don't care. That's hideous. [/quote]
