Thanks, Anti-Vaxxers. You Just Brought Back Measles in NYC. - The Daily Beast


Like those who think the best way to be safe is to drive versus fly. . .or think that seatbelts aren't safe(what if your car goes in the water, and you can't get out, I know I live in Arizona but it rains)

The damage that people without science and understanding is doing to this society continues. I know Bill Nye the science guy is worried about the future. . .

but these people are doing damage TODAY

What about all the illegals ? Are their "health records" up to date with shots ?
A lot of those zip codes mentioned are populated with poor immigrants.

Yes but they have been populated with poor immigrants for a lot longer than the much more recent rash of not vaccinating your children. If it was an immigration issue then the problems would have shown up much earlier.

You won't get any where arguing with anti-vaxxers, they are convinced vaccines don't work and are dangerous, even though proven otherwise.

Yes, because the opinions of a few random crackpot "scientists" can -- when shrieked incessantly over the Internet -- successfully negate 200 years of proven, documented real-world success.

As pointed out to you, Mexico has high immunization rates. My DIL is from Mexico, and she says parental consent is not even needed. If a kid needs a shot, someone goes to the home and gives it.

The people in the US who are refusing vaccines are for the most part educated and should know better.

Outbreaks in the US are started by unvaccinated citizens or legal travelers who acquire the illness abroad and bring it home. It then spreads, mostly to other unvaccinated people. This year, a number of cases can be traced to the Philippines.

Then why does the CDC recommend updating MMR vaccinations when traveling to that nation?
