Fewer Americans now view childhood vaccines as important: Gallup
In the July survey, only 40 percent of U.S. adults said it is “extremely important” for parents to vaccinate their children, a marked decline from the 58 percent who said the same in 2019 and the 64 percent who said the same in 2001.

@feloneouscat I guess that's what they want. I'm all up to date.
A real concern for me is people refusing to get their pets vaccinated for rabies.
Measles, mumps, rubella, whooping cough. . . meh. They're pretty bad, sure.
But rabies: that's incurable.
@nursefrombirth
When children return to dying from whooping cough they tend to change their minds.
I’m curious if the majority of anti-vaxers are men.
