Here’s a hypothetical question for you...

My kid gets a measles vaccination. The other 500 kids in his school don’t. All 500 come down with measles at the same time and they come to school and play with my kid. Does my kid come down with measles?

Probabilities are 93% or so against it. The number of contacts increases the probabilities of course.

While we are posing suppositions, what if your kids play on the freeway during rush hour when the cars are moving slowly. Will they get hit and killed/maimed anyway>

News flash: Not all of those 500 kids would come to school. As recently as 1980 more than 10% of people who contracted red measles died. That means more than 50 of those 500 children would be dead.

Have a nice day.

It depends on whether or not he responded with antibodies after being vaccinated.

The son of a friend contracted measles even though fully vaccinated. He was among the few who did not respond with antibodies after being vaccinated.

Even though I was fully vaccinated against Hepatitis B, I never developed antibodies. I can get the disease just as easily as someone who has never been vaccinated.

This is why “herd Immunity” is so important in preventing epidemics.
