Vaccines and Measles.

Vaccines have worked so well that the small risks they pose now seem to outweigh the terrible diseases they are preventing. For the few individuals who can't take vaccines they depend on the rest of us to keep vaccinated so that diseases like Measles stay rare.

For a highly contagious disease like Measles a much higher percentage of the populations needs to be vaccinated to keep the disease down, but why are so many people worried about Measles?

This isn't old news Measles is popping up everywhere where people opt-out of vaccines in large numbers. The CDC has already confirmed Measles cases in 15 states this year alone.
