> In Louisiana, maternal and infant mortality remain near the worst in the nation. If they stop mass vaccination, they seem likely to experience infant mortality due to measles (which is currently not much of an issue due to mass vaccination, as infants are too young to receive the vaccine themselves). And pertussis (quite dangerous to infants, and expectant mothers and caregivers are frequently advised to get extra vaccine doses to minimize risk to the infants). Oh, and while hemolytic disease of the newborn isn’t managed by a vaccine per se, the same group of people seem to dislike the mitigation. Treating it is surely far more expensive than preventing it.
