“Vaccinations contribute to “the immunity of the herd”, the herd being us and our children.”
Herd immunity is a belief, but I’ve yet to see conclusive studies that document this belief.
If vaccines are so wonderful, then vaccinated children have nothing to worry about.
Beyond that, life always has risks... and there is a greater chance of your kid getting injured in a car accident than getting killed by measles.
You did what you could, freely. Now let people examine the evidence and do what they believe is right for their family.
You're not looking very hard. Prior to the measles epidemic that is happening in NY right now, it had been eradicated for so long that many of the doctors there had never even seen measles, and didn't know what they were looking at when they started to see the first cases erupt.
However, for this post, the first doctor made the mistake of not immediately having the child transported to the ER if he/she really thought there was a danger to the child.
