And folks don't get how contagious it is, on top of how dangerous it is. It's a rough estimate, but I remember a doctor saying it's one of those things that, if one person in a group has measles, they'll probably infect 9 out of 10 unvaccinated people in that group. Needing a 95% vaccination rate for herd immunity isn't a moonshot. It's a requirement for something that spreads that well.

We should probably require people crossing our southern border from countries with active measles outbreaks to be vaccinated then.

Just goes to show that none of this is really about protecting US citizens.

You seem confused, did you mean anti-vax pods popping up in California where the willfully ignorant are refusing to give their kids Measles shots? They uhhh... this isn't an immigration issue.

None of the immigrants coming from measles hotspots are vaccinated.

97% of Californians are as it's a state requirement to attend public school.

With a religious exemption, which almost anyone can claim, it really isn’t.
