So, let’s start from the idea that a certain vaccination compliance threshold is needed for each illness that we need to and have the ability to prevent.

And then let’s consider the reality that many parents—enough of them to matter—think there are too many vaccines, so compliance has been eroding.

This is the actual challenge: the medical recommendation might be solid, but a public policy doesn’t work unless people follow it.

Because eroded compliance threatens to undermine those critical thresholds, the public policy’s effectiveness is collapsing.

We can stay the course and watch things collapse, determined that the experts are correct and that the general public cannot be helped, or we can update the policy to be more focused so that we achieve those critical thresholds for the most essential immunizations.

So you're suggesting that in response to misinformation about provably beneficial safety standards, we should erode the standards.

That encourages even more misinformation, and further erosion of public safety.

Ah yes, we’re back to the idea that the public cannot be helped. The answer is that the problem is a different, unsolvable one: presumably due to misinformation, members of the public have opinions that are too strongly held for them to follow policies.
