Immunization at 'elite' school in California

The 'elite' who know so much better than we do, causing delayed harm to their children - and ours by extension through diseases that had been all but conquered. I hope this does not spread out of California. [Link]
Yet I am surprised--surprised and disappointed.  This is a very dangerous level of immunization -- the level where herd immunity gets lost, disease reservoirs are established, and children emerge from their school to infect infants, immunocompromised adults, and people whose vaccinations didn't take or have waned, with potentially fatal diseases.

We spent most of the last century trying to stamp out the infectious diseases that used to cripple and kill hundreds and thousands of people every year.  Sometimes it seems like the Bobo elites plan to spend the 21st century bringing them all back.
