I realize that. I’m talking about all the ADULTS that are essentially walking around unvaccinated because the effectiveness has worn off. I suspect that a lot of the people that are commenting here about unvaccinated children are essentially unvaccinated themselves.

I read yesterday where someone pointed out that being exposed to a pathogen that you have been vaccinated against is like receiving a booster shot for that disease, since it will induce a new immune response. Also, I believe many assessments of immunity are based on the antibody count, but the immune system consists of more than the antibody system. Meaning that the antibody count can drop off drastically, but a person is still protected.
