I really don't get the anti-vaxxers, this stuff blows my mind.

More than 27K Utah students not fully immunized for measles, health officials say

Measles outbreaks across the world in the past few weeks have led to the revisit of the immunization discussion. With the rise of vaccine exemptions, exactly how many Utah students haven't received the recommended dosage of the MMR vaccine.

My wife's aunt and uncle refused to vaccinate their kids because they thought it would stunt their growth which would hurt their chances at succeeding in sports. Who cares if your kid could die as long they are good at sports while doing it.

They shouldn’t be allowed to go to public school. Not kidding.

I think parents should be "free" to not vaccinate their kids. They're wrong. And society should be free to prevent

That’s the way Oregon is. Every year there’s a cutoff date.

Agreed. I remember having to prove I was immunized to go to grad school.

Because of the vaccinations?

Febrile seizures are not related to Autism

Where did you pull the number 3%?

Thats a great non-answer.

Devouring1

2/13/19 4:27pm

Its a great answer! What % would you put on it?

hitechcpa

2/13/19 4:30pm

I was just wondering if the 3% was an official number from someone.

Devouring1

2/13/19 4:55pm

I was going to put 5%, but its not that much. 3% is totally arbitrary.

I would like some context here. What does "went off the deep end" mean? At what age were they vaccinated?

and was it a correlation or a causation?

Crazy Duck

med community claimed not related, but normal one day seizures the next

"med community"? What does that mean? Multiple doctors? That's an odd way to say "the doctor said not related"

I didn't say it was correlative. I said I saw it and asked questions.

Yes, you did say it was "correlative." You just haven't claimed causation.

With good reason. Most educated people should realize that the vast majority of anti-vax complaints are nonsense.
