Back in 2000, measles was considered to be "eliminated" in the
    United States. But today-thanks largely to the efforts of
    anti-vaccination campaigns (for your health!)-the highly contagious
    disease is popping up all over the place. Oh, cool! Nothing like
    resurrecting a killer of children in the name of protecting
    children!

  How is this still a thing? If the anti-vaxxers argued civil liberties I
  might be able to sympathize. But they're fighting both science and math
  where both have strong data. When it comes to disease spread, we have
  even more data.

  There is far too much emotion in this fight on the anti-vaxxer side and
  poor communicators on the science side. The science and math folks are
  correct.
