Yes, but with good herd immunity, kid no. 2 is less likely to get it from kid no. 1, since those who have it will be sparsely scattered about the community.

“Yes, but with good herd immunity, kid no. 2 is less likely to get it from kid no. 1, since those who have it will be sparsely scattered about the community.”

What’s fascinating about news stories like these, is they conveniently ignore the fact that it’s immigrants that are more likely to compromise “herd immunity” that extremely rare examples of people that are actively against vaccination.

Of the millions of illegal immigrants here in this nation, how many do you think had the full battery of childhood vaccinations? Don’t you think that’s a bigger threat to herd immunity than the vanishingly rare anti-vaccine type?
