California parents are deciding against vaccinating their kindergarten-age children at twice the rate they did seven years ago, a fact public health experts said is contributing to the reemergence of measles across the state and may lead to outbreaks of other serious diseases.
The percentage of kindergartens in which at least 8% of students are not fully vaccinated because of personal beliefs has more than doubled as well, according to data on file with the state. That threshold is significant because communities must be immunized at a high rate to avoid widespread disease outbreaks. It is a concept known as herd immunity, and for measles and whooping cough at least 92% of kids need to be immune, experts say.

They snuck in over the border.
Nope, it’s a plague of know nothing liberals. . .
They snuck in over the border.
Sooo,,,the illegals are convincing people in this country NOT to get vaccinated?
I remember as a kid children from Mexico dying in our hospital from Diphtheria and feeling lucky that we were vaccinated.
No, illegal children didn’t get vaccinated in Mexico. The proportion of illegal children in California schools is much higher than 7 years ago.
Yep, those with ‘personal beliefs’ are villified, while the flood of medically unchecked Central Americans doesn’t seem to worry anyone. In fact illegals don’t seem to get blamed for anything - drunk driving fatal accidents, drugs, rape, murder,...nope, illegals can do no wrong.
Liberals are a bigger threat to this country than isis.

Idiot Donny Wahlberg just married Jenny McCarthy last weekend. What an maroon. I’ll give that marriage three years, tops.
No, illegal children didn’t get vaccinated in Mexico. The proportion of illegal children in California schools is much higher than 7 years ago.
It doesn’t say illegals are convincing American citizens not to get their kids vaccinated. There is a huge anti-vaccine (for anything) movement in this country that has nothing to do with illegals. And that movement is winning.
All of the illegal children we knew in public schools were vaccinated.
So are the passive conservative enablers.
Sadly, you are right on that.
“We’re always buying her vaccines for diseases she doesn’t even have.” - Homer Simpson.
On one side you have the conspiracy paranoids that say vaccines are a government plot. Another side is the autism paranoids. And the big one, which I am racist for pointing out, are the illegals from south of the border.
It’s us “highly advanced” Americans that are waging a war against vaccinations.
Hell, just look at the number of people in this country who refuse to get a flu shot because the anti-vaxers have convinced them the vaccine will kill them.
Hey, I have never had a flu shot and never get the flu. I am middle aged and have lived through and been basically naturally innoculated through several strains of stuff.
But I am going to follow up on whether my grandkids have innoculations because the stuff that is coming into this country needs to be protected against.
On the other side you have the paid shills that sell their souls to lie to their fellow human beings in order to destroy their children. Because $2.7 BILLION dollars in hush money doesn't count, right?
When you're in hell, I'm going to lean over heaven's balcony to spit in your agonized face.
I want you to know that - me to you. Got it?
The Government Admits that Vaccines Cause Autism and are Dangerous, But they Wont Tell You That!
For later
Like hell. Go talk to your handlers and come up with all the spin you want - the damn has finally broken and the truth of the coverup is out.
And by the way, you know you're encouraging people to poison their children, right? Which makes you... what, exactly? Or don't you really care anymore? There's a name for that.
