Epidemic preventable with vaccination | Open Line - Half Moon Bay Review

Our coverage of concerns of a measles epidemic included a lively discussion online. Most of it supported vaccinations.

This provides evidence that a significant number of medical doctors in California share responsibility in enabling vaccine denialism, and are helping to put completely unsubstantiated superstition above public health and the lives of at-risk Californians. The article points out that one of the highest vaccination rates in the state is Watsonville, while some of the states much more wealthy enclaves in Los Angeles and San Francisco achieve much poorer rates.”
