It is not very difficult to imagine that antivaxxers would use this article as proof that vaccination was a mistake and that we should not go further. However, this bit:
> Our data show that anti-disease vaccines that do not prevent transmission can create conditions that promote the emergence of pathogen strains that cause more severe disease in unvaccinated hosts.
Actually makes a convincing case for anyone who did not get the vaccine to get it.
Anyway, that won't convince hardcore antivaxxers, so we shall see in the upcoming months/years whether this article actually transposes to our situation. Just a shame this may be happening at the expense of gullible yet still good at heart people.
