Some can't be immunized due to age, type of illness of just have such a suppressed immune system that vaccination is not effective. It has nothing to do with “trust.” That's why I mentioned the term “herd immunity.”
If you are interested, “google” that term and read up on it; then you will understand the concept; why I mentioned the term and how it pertains to these types of individuals.
Take care,

I understand the term “herd immunity” but how is the doctor office any different then the local walmart, bank, church, etc.? I think the assumption in this discussion is that the people in the doctor office are there do to an illness that they could have been vaccinated for...I just don't see that as a credible assumption.
