The link in the initial post is the silliest bit of data-mining I've seen since the claim that "Republican" car dealerships were being disproportionately closed. You do understand that death rates and infection rates are not the same, right? And you do understand that the overwhelming bulk of evidence (and common sense) indicates that vaccinated people do not get these diseases, right? And lastly, there is a vast amount of data showing that the risk of harm from being vaccinated is far, far less than the risk of harm from being unvaccinated.

It is perfecly appropriate to test, challenge, and question new vaccines, and to continue to monitor their usefulness and effectiveness. It is, however, idiotic "magical thinking" to refuse to vaccinate your child because of false, oft-disproven myths about the harmful effects of the vaccines themselves. At best, people who refuse to vaccinate their children are "free riders" seeking protection in "herd immunity" that they themselves are undermining with their selfish and damaging behavior. At worst, these people pose a real and active threat to infants and children with suppressed immune systems.

I remember taking my infant son for his first round of vaccinations and hoping against hope that we were not going to be in the waiting room next to some nitwit's sick unvaccinated kid who was going to give my infant measles or whooping cough or some other god-awful ailment, simply because his or her parents were incapable of distinguishing New Age mysticism from science. If you don't want to vaccinate your child, fine -- but he or she should be required to go around in public in a bright orange MOPP-4 hazmat suit so he or she can't infect anyone else.
