I didn't watch the video, but I have read two or three different articles about this over the past few days. I find the way it is being presented (one headline said something like "Sharp Increase in Infections from Deadly Disease") to be alarmist and ridiculously exaggerated. No one has died in the uptick of cases this year, and only something like 15 children have been hospitalized. But from reading the press coverage on the subject, you would think we're all at risk from dying of measles because of all the parents out there rejecting the vaccine. It think it is being grossly overblown in a way that is not useful in the current debate about mandatory routine vaccinations.
If they want all children to be vacinated against these diseases then they should work on coming up with either undeniable proof that they are safe or take stuff like mercury and aborted fetal tissue out of my babies vacines!
