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.

Condemning people to hell. Who knew we had such a qualified person as to condemn us mere mortals to damnation and will enjoy spitting in to the faces of us wretches. Throw in a swell personality to boot and you’re the life of the party.
Yes, that was what I was doing, marking it so I could read it later. Thank you for stepping in to set it straight.

First . THERE IS NO CONNECTION BETWEEN THE MMR AND AUTISM. NONE.
It’s been studied to death and there is ZERO evidence of causality.
Second. Measles mumps and Rubella all have significant morbidity and some mortality associated with infection. I remember when young girls had “German Measles parties” so they could get infected to avoid getting later when pregnant.
Don’t want to get your kids vaccinated? DON’T.
You’re talking to a ‘troofer.’ Just like 9/11 troofer’s and the Apollo moon landing troofer’s, they will never be convinced.
Will this be your view as you’re up with your halo spitting in my hellbound face?
To good, ahem, “Christian” troofer like Talisker, thousands upon thousands of wards crammed to capacity with polio victims is far preferable than a vaccine.

Matthew 7:1-5 ESV
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye?”
Talisker has decided God isn’t up to the job, so Talisker will do it instead.
You have no idea.
And Chessplayer has decided God isn’t up to the job, so pharmaceutical companies backed by politicians who vote in secret courts to protect vaccine makers from being exposed to public scrutiny will do it instead.
What’s a little polio among friends.
