I'm a huge advocate of testing what we believe to be science. There are so many things which were considered science that we've proven to be incorrect. I doubt we're at the apex scientific or medical technology. There will continue to be more and more breakthroughs that prove what we believe to be true incorrect. Isn't that the whole purpose of science? To establish what we believe to be true then try to prove otherwise?

The vaccination issue is such a broad subject that you have to consider every scenario. I understand in a place like California where the population is over 38 million that it's a concern. What about the rural states though? California has 38 times more people than Montana. My kid stays at home with me, doesn't go to day care, we almost have no one coming through here when compared to places like LA who don't have a clue what's going on here. Why should they be dictating what happens with my kid?

In 2012, we had a Pertussis outbreak. 549 individuals contracted pertussis, 61% of them were aged 5-17. No one died.

There was one case of the mumps in an individual over the age of 50 who actually received the vaccination which should have prevented it.

These were the major outbreaks in the past 5 years.

We have a continuous flow of immigrants, legally and illegally who definitely don't get all the vaccines. It doesn't seem possible to me to vaccinate absolutely every person that we come in contact with or that comes to the US.

I'm confused as to how it would be a concern for someone who was vaccinated anyway. If vaccines are so effective, why is it a big concern when an individual who has been vaccinated is exposed to someone who hasn't? If you can, please provide scientific documentation to support this case.

I'm not advocating we go in one way or another, just questioning what has been established as the way we should be doing things or forcing others to do.
