Californian's are sure smart people
Quote:Who is choosing not to vaccinate? The answer is surprising. The area with the most cases of whooping cough in California is Los Angeles County, and no group within that county has lower immunization rates than residents living between Malibu and Marina Del Ray, home to some of the wealthiest and most exclusive suburbs in the country. At the Kabbalah Children's Academy in Beverly Hills, 57% of children are unvaccinated. At the Waldorf Early Childhood Center in Santa Monica, it's 68%, according to the Hollywood Reporter's analysis of public-health data.
These are the kind of immunization rates that can be found in Chad or South Sudan. But parents in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica see vaccines as unnatural—something that conflicts with their healthy lifestyle. And they have no problem finding fringe pediatricians willing to cater to their irrational beliefs.
These parents are almost uniformly highly educated, but they are making an uneducated choice
Vacination report
PS I am going to miss the "Makin copies" commercial.

It probably has a lot to do with the amount of illegals in the area.

That was my thought. I don't know of a school around here that will accept unvaccinated students. The only optional vaccination seems to be the flu shot.

It's all the businesses and rich home owners that are hiring them and they bring in their infected kids.

I don't see how this makes all Californians anti vaccine.
