This means that kids for whom the vaccines aren’t 100% effective, or people who can’t have vaccines (because they are too young or have immune diseases) don’t get to benefit from herd immunity, but instead are exposed to potentially dangerous diseases that no one in the developed world needs to suffer from anymore. Just look at poor Dana McCaffery, the 4 week old baby that died recently from whooping cough because she was unfortunate enough to be born in a low vaccine-uptake neighbourhood in NSW.

There is no reason for there to outbreaks of chickenpox, measles, polio, rubella, etc., anymore than smallpox. These diseases are preventable in the 21st century.
