Horrible figures! You can lay the blame on the anti-vaxxers and all the lacy ones shoulders! WHEN will they understand this is serious??? They infect the whole society around them!!
You are so right. The antivaxxer movement uses illusion and fairy tales to develop their point of view … not science and statistics.
It is their ‘community spread’ (family, friends, neighbors) that is making these numbers spike.
