They meet in the middle, at the back of the circle so to speak.

Engineers, who tend conservative (though not all are) are large segment of the anti-immunization crowd.

We have how many illegal immigrants coming here everyday with no immunizations, what is this going to be like in 20 years. Looks like most of the government is anti- immunization or at least not thinking of diseases coming back and becoming stronger and more resilient.

Mexicans are better immunized than US residents.
Mexico more effective than U.S. at immunizing children(BARF ALERT)
Mexico's paternalistic approach has led to a 96% vaccination rate for children ages 1 to 4, compared with 79% of American 2-year-olds. . . . If parents here are late getting their child inoculated, a public-health nurse will come to their home, pull down the youngster's pants and give the vaccination right there in the living room. . . . It is a paternalistic approach almost impossible to imagine in the United States - where privacy rights and other freedoms are highly valued and immunizations are increasingly feared - but it has proved remarkably effective: Mexico has a 96 percent vaccination rate for children ages 1 to 4, compared with an immunization rate of 79 percent for 2-year-olds in the United States. . . .Mexico's immunization success is something Americans - particularly Texans - can cheer. Epidemics of preventable disease used to go back and forth between the two countries. That no longer happens, thanks mostly to the remarkable but unheralded improvements in Mexico and other countries in the region.

The CDC is very "pro" immunization. I don't know where you get the idea the US govt. is anti-immunization.
