Data’s a little old, but probably still pretty accurate.
What fascinates me are the areas with both high vaccination rates and high disease rates.

What fascinates me are the areas with both high vaccination rates and high disease rates. Probably because areas with high outbreaks are hit with a vaccination program to prevent it from spreading worldwide.
What surprised me most is one of the highest countries in the newest reports was France.

Wow, that’s the last thing the people trying to hijack this thread needed to see.

LoL, someone could pick up Ebola in Africa and the knee jerkers would say it is Mexico's fault.

Good point. And it does look like mostly vaccination programs did reduce the rates in following years.
I wonder what’s up with France? I notice that they didn’t report/no data’d both charts.
I also note that Algeria has a pretty high rate, I could speculate that France’s high rate is due to yutes, but I’ve already made a fool out of myself once on this thread...

No, it’s because 127 cases of measles in a country of 300 million people isn’t scary.

Coincidentally today an Indy series driver had to withdraw from this Saturday’s Indy race due to having a very contagious form of the mumps.

I never had anything but German measles. We had vaccinations by then & thankfully I never got the regular measles & I surely don't want to deal with them. Chicken pox was bad enough with the older kids & I got that a few times. Even though Dr's say its impossible I have had that a few times. So stuff like this upsets me. I tend to catch things easily and I am unlucky.

Must be one of those “Mexicans cause disease/climate change/whatever except when they do not” lines of analytical reasoning that I don’t really understand.

Nope. Areas with poor public health infrastructure and a casual attitude towards personal hygiene tend to have higher rates of disease and parasites.
First world countries tend to have the diseases of the rich - diabetes, atherosclerosis, obesity, etc.
Third world countries tend to have more infectious and communicable diseases - tuberculosis, cholera, intestinal parasites, etc.
When mass quantities of people move from one world to another, they tend to swap diseases.
Third worlders tend to carry more than one kind of culture across the boarders.
That’s why they stopped my ancestors at the boarder and made sure the passed a health check before they would admit them into this country.
