It says measles last reached Utah in 2011, and it was 2 minor cases. It was actually 2015, and they were 2 siblings.

I'm very familiar with that occurrence because we had to quarantine my son as a result.

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

Thats a great non-answer.

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

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

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"? 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.
