Out of the literal thousands of immunized people exposed 5 got it. Out of the vastly smaller, probably a few hundred non-immunized folks exposed to it, a few dozen got it.
Obviously the vaccine cut the odds of being infected drastically and the 5 that got it were unlucky enough to have had a failed immunization and exposure due to idiots.
Yes that is true but of course we don’t have all the numbers and just because someone doesn’t have records in the California doesn’t mean they weren’t vaccinated. The risk of death by measles is also very small. What is the vector that is bringing measles to California a place where it had been eradicated? Most likely it is the immigrant population. Maybe they can start by requiring illegal immigrants to be vaccinated before they can be released. Maybe tag them with a tracking device while they are at it.

You are completely correct, but it also shows that the idiots who don't vaccinate cause trouble for the rest of us. You can't just say let them go off on their own and hope darwinism weeds them out, because they take innocent victims with them.
