They are at risk: The cases of whooping cough have increased from 2, 500/yr in the 90's to about 40, 000/yr since the misinformation about vaccines began circulating.More than 30 preventable pertussis deaths have occurred in 2013 as well as many from measles & other vaccine preventable causes.As long as there is air travel, any germ from the world can be in your mall today & be spread to your kid within hours.

Unnecessary risk: Vaccinations are a great benefit to children, more so than any other medical advancement. Diseases that used to cause harm and even death among children, such as tetanus and diphtheria, almost never occur. Not immunizing your child places him/her at risk, as well as the people he encounters, for diseases that are totally preventable. We have a measles epidemic in my state now because of this.
