[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many hysterical little tyrants here.  Libs just love to mandate behavior.  Psychos.  If you're kid is vaccinated and they work so well, why do you care if my kid doesn't get MMR?

Experts have been known to be WRONG (covid vaxx stops the spread!) and LIE (face masks work!)  Sorry if I don't want to line my kids up for heart injuries, allergies, asthma, neurological conditions such as GBS et al.  I'm not anti-vaxx but I will never blindly believe what the "experts" spout again.  Adjustments to the vaccine schedule are hardly unreasonable but you little dictators like to push people around.

Because even after 2 doses, the MMR is 97% effective. That means for 3% of kids, they aren't fully protected.
So when your unvaccinated kid gets measles (highly contagious) and comes to a school classroom of 33 kids, 1 of the 32 **vaccinated** kids isn't protected, and now your kid has endangered the vaccinated kid who didn't realize they were in the 3%. Not to mention a kid with an immune issue who is unable to get the vax.

When everyone is vaccinated, the 97% effectiveness is enough for herd immunity and every kid stays safe. As more and more parents choose not to vaccinate their kids, mostly those kids will end up catching measles, which has an 11% hospitalization rate. But 3% of vaccinated kids will also be subject to the complications of measles, which include death.[/quote]
