The Most Dangerous School in Los Altos
- cafard 15y agoI'd be curious to know where the numbers come from. The Googlers & such like techie folk seem unlikely to be anti-vaccine.
- tzs 15y ago> No responsible parent would ever let their child attend a school with a 23% immunization rate If your child is immunized, what is the problem with letting them attend a school with low immunization rate?
- JoachimSchipper 15y agoA vaccine that is 99% efficient (and most are not 100% efficient!) is probably sufficient to eradicate the disease in vaccinated populations ("herd immunity"); but if you suddenly enter a population where the disease is prevalent, you have a nearly 1% probability of falling ill, which is much higher than in vaccinated populations. Of course, "no responsible parent" is hyperbole. But there is a significantly higher risk even for immunized children. (Found this on your thread page; I hope this was helpful.)
