They say vaccine herd immunity exists. But it doesnt.
Herd immunity 101: Herd immunity is the belief that if a certain portion of the population becomes immune to a disease, the rest of the population will be protected from infection. Sounds great, except herd immunity only applies to diseases derived naturally that give one lifetime immunity. A vaccine is deemed effective if it introduces an antigen but that antigen may not cause an antibody response, but if it does, wont necessarily give one immunity, but if it does, only provides temporary immunity. In other words, effective doesnt equal protective. You can have the antibodies and still get sick. Major fail.
A. W. Hedrich, founder of the herd immunity concept, found that a 68% exposure rate was all that was needed (not 95%, as people have been mistakenly led to believe). By that definition, even if herd immunity did apply to vaccinations, we should not see outbreaks of any vaccine preventable diseases, especially in exclusively vaccinated areas. (For more on herd immunity, check out this book).
Yes Herd immunity is a total failure. That is why the Disneyland outbreak has spread across the country infecting millions with each traveler who gets infected carrying the disease and starting a new huge outbreak when they go home!
Oh wait as of 24 hours ago it was only 119 confirmed cases and it seems to be damping out completely. EXACTLY what herd immunity means. NOT that no one will get the disease but rather that instead of spreading wildly to increasing numbers of people it will tends to damp out.
