It’s not really logical. From the conversation w/my nephew MD who brought it up, I think we’ve had a handle on keeping measles away for so long that it’s fallen off the radar as a thing to worry about. And with vaccinations for other things also being pushed (e.g. flu) there’s a “fatigue” about getting shots. Plus parents are also just busy – with their own lives plus all the activities and errands for their kids these days, that something has to give.
Hence the question(s) about is this really necessary? And of course, HHS under RFK Jr sowing doubt doesn’t help.
