Conspiracy theories about the vaccines followed by conspiracy theories about the outbreaks of the diseases the vaccines are for

=====================================

Fewer American parents vaccinated their kindergartners as more sought exemptions from routine shots during the last school year, new data shows.

The figures – released Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – follow trends since the COVID-19 pandemic with more parents foregoing children’s vaccines that have been instrumental in saving early lives. In turn, preventable diseases have resurfaced across the U.S.

The risks can be serious and even fatal for children, family members and others around them, said Dr. Georgina Peacock, director of CDC’s Immunization Services Division.

“As we are noting these declines in childhood vaccination, we are also seeing more communities experience outbreaks of measles and whooping cough across the U.S.,” she said in a statement. “Vaccination is the best way to prevent these outbreaks and their devastating impact on children.”

Routine vaccines are typically required to attend public schools unless you have an exemption. In the 2023-24 school year, the CDC reported the percentage of kindergartners who'd been vaccinated decreased for all reported vaccines. The two-dose measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine is now at 92.7%, down from 95.2% during the 2019-20 school year.

At the same time, the percentage of kindergarteners with exemptions to at least one vaccine jumped to 3.3%, up from 3% in the 2022-23 year. Exemptions increased in 40 states and Washington, D.C. The percentage of children with exemptions in 14 states exceeded 5%.

Reaching at least 95% vaccination coverage in a community for diseases such as measles can prevent outbreaks, according to the CDC.

Health officials in North Carolina announced in September the state’s first measles case since 2018, of a child in Mecklenburg County who was likely exposed while outside the U.S. Rates for kindergartners in the state receiving the MMR vaccine have dipped to 93.8%. That trend is reflected in Mecklenburg, which includes Charlotte, where gradual declines in vaccination have been met with increases in outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases.

Even a few unvaccinated people can have lasting effects in neighborhoods and schools...........

Last school year, fewer kindergartners were vaccinated, CDC says

In the 2023-24 school year, the CDC reported vaccine coverage among kindergartners decreased across all reported vaccines.

I’m on the waitlist. I’ve heard that it is but haven’t been called yet.

It was here. I got both. As others told me, the covid vaccine killed me. (Un)fortunately, the flu vaccine brought me back.

No side effects other sudden death.

and when their child dies or has long term effects from something they could have gotten protection for, they'll then blame it on some other conspiracy..
