The scary thing about anti-vaxxers, at least to me, is how susceptible educated people can be to essentially baseless fear mongering.
So when I worked at Google I (and many others) got into an argument with a software engineer who had strong anti-vax opinions and honestly, it's mind-boggling how removed from reality people can get, even people with a supposed science education.
I'm glad California has started clamping down on personal belief exemptions. That still leaves medical exemptions and unfortunately it seems like some doctors are complicit in giving baseless medical exemptions.
In New York we've had cases of immunization records being falsified. I'm not sure if it's by doctors or parents (maybe both).
Honestly any medical professional who falsifies immunization records or provides bogus medical exemptions needs to be jailed.
So I'm honestly not surprised measles is showing up in SV tech companies.
