Tell the "it's a solved problem" to people who are vaccine damaged. You only talk about others but ignore the all the people who got vaccine damage. You are selective in your "protect the innocent". Take your N-th booster. There are no "outbreaks" since sanitiation and nutrition improved, so people who aren't completely immunocompromised won't get any serious side effects from it. Why would any parent be stupid enough to risk his own healthy child so that a few immunicomproised people get to live? Makes no sense, no parent is that stupid. Unless you brainwash them that other's children are more important that his own.

Not sure if you got measles as a child and remember it. I got it and remember it and it's an awful illness. I didn't need any "brainwashing" to vaccinate my children. Making sure that they don't suffer is enough of a reason. Apart from that: I will of course expose my children to a tiny risk if it can safe the live of another person. And you do it every day as well with your own life and with that of your own children, if you have any. It's called a society. It would be much safer for me not to break for a person crossing the road (another car could tailgate me). A pedestrian would maybe leave a dent in my car, but the risk to my life or that of my passengers is negligible. I still break every single time, because it is simply the right thing to do. You make tons of these tradeoffs every single day. >You only talk about others but ignore the all the people who got vaccine damage. Let's start with the worst form of "damage": death. The CDC's website has a total of one documented case, where the vaccine was linked to a death because of a very rare combination of circumstances. One. Total. After Billions of vaccinations. I'll take those chances. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safety/vaccines/mmr.html https://www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safety/vaccines/mmr.html Other possible side effects are either a non issue, or completely acceptable (higher risk of seizures in the weeks after vaccination – one of my children has epilepsy since being a baby. Seizures, they are exhausting but not actually dangerous). The worst possible side effect seems to be Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), which can result from contracting the wild measles virus as well. So giving the vaccine actually doesn't increase the risk of contracting this illness, but it protects against at least a severe illness and at best a painful death. >Take your N-th booster. What has that to do with anything? You get one booster for measles at the most. Don't tell me that you are one of those people who can't keep their vaccine-scepticisms separate!
