CDC reports highest childhood vaccine exemption rate ever in the U.S.
www.nbcnews.com
Forty states saw rises in parents citing religious or other personal concerns for not vaccinating their young children.

This is for mmr, dtap, polio and var vaccines. Vaccination rates for children are below 95% for the first time in a decade also.

Ten states have exemption rates of over 5%. Idaho has like 12% exemption rates. Very cool.

    I’ve been blocked by family and old school friends over this stuff several years ago. They really don’t like seeing videos of children with polio or whooping cough.

    It really sucks the kids will suffer, especially since so many of these parents actually got vaccinated as kids.
