        Show me a legitimate medical exclusion that is recognized by actual doctors and is peer reviewed.

          Some people are allergic to the ingredients. From what I remember, it’s rare but it happens.

              Here’s the CDC from 2024 Allergies to ingredients are a big one, and for the MMR (because what the fuck why is measles back vaccinate the 99.999 whatever percent of kids who can get vaxxed ffs) severely immunocompromised kids can’t get it (and probably can’t do much with whatever vaccines they can get). The fact that some kids legitimately can’t get vaccinated makes it more important for the rest of them to get vaccinated because of herd immunity.

      Nah man we’re smart. Natural selection hasn’t been a part of humans lives for so long morons breed with morons that in the wild would have been eaten LONG before reproducing. So they’re doing the US a favor in a way.

    This is absolutely frustrating and yes, people should know better. But as our government becomes less trustworthy generally, and the business world increasingly turns into a carnival of cynical scams, it becomes harder and harder for members of the public to figure out who they should be listening to.

    I just hope we find some way to turn things around and also just turn down the noise without everything collapsing first. Not sure how to accomplish that, though.

      95% vaccination is required for herd immunity for measles. 0.9% is a big part of 5%.
