It totally applies because (a) the threshold needs to be 98% according to the math that governs such things, (b) we're not sure to stay at 98% (or even 95%) in the face of disinformation campaigns such as the one you're a part of, and (c) it really is important to be sure because the consequences of allowing outbreaks to continue are actually severe. Making other people suffer the burdens of illness could be seen as a violation of their rights, and is impossible to address via litigation after the fact, so prevention is necessary.
You've already claimed that measles doesn't cause serious harm, and been proven wrong. Multiple times. You've claimed that this outbreak isn't serious, despite the facts that are known about how disease spreads and how infectious measles in particular is. Why do you persist in pushing this anti-vax narrative?
