@drmincu , Very interesting article. Being a Microbiologist, it grabbed my instant attention. During our studies, we were taught that there is a phenomena known as "Herd Immunity" that helps those Non-vaccinated persons remain safe from by the vaccination of other 90% or more people. I didn't understood that at the time of my undergraduate studies, but nowadays, we see so many of people who actually are safe from those deadly diseases even though they are Non-vaccinated.
Anyways, a Great read.....Nice and Informative Post.....Just upvoted and followed you
Well...i think herd immunity is about decreasing the size of the natural reservoir of the disease, thus decreasing the chance that a non-vaccinated individual will come into contact with the pathogen. Also, innate immunity may also play a role into that. Still - decreasing the proportion of vaccinated individuals will weaken the "herd immunity" effect.
Ps: Followed back!
