Obviously, I was being sarcastic.

Polio isn’t only example of once-common disease that’s making a comeback after scientists nearly wiped it out. In the United States, measles cases have been on the rise, despite the fact that researchers thought they virtually eradicated the infectious disease back in 2000. That’s happening for the same reason that polio continues to persist: pockets of unvaccinated people allow the virus to spread. Federal health officials have confirmed that persistent anti-vaccine beliefs — the myth that they’re not safe for children, or that they’re linked to autism — are to blame for giving rise to these public health issues.

Whooping Cough is another one that is coming back.

Sure you have a right not to be vaccinated. But if you want to live in a modern society, in close proximity to others, you have to forfeit some of those rights. Otherwise you can live like Grizzly Adams.

A majority of people in the U.S. getting measles, mumps, whooping cough, and polio had the vaccines. Vaccines are not 100% effective and they are not 100% safe. I had 15 years worth of military vaccines including anthrax and never had a reaction, but I know people that did. I've also been stung by a bee and was fine. I don't call someone who goes into shock a conspiracy theorist. Not everyone is the same. I'd suggest you do your research. There have been several whistle blowers from the pharmaceutical companies come forward and say their data had been falsified to show vaccines to be more effective and to hide serious injuries.

Yellow fever is spread by mosquitoes.

The decision to not administer the vaccine in made based on your medical condition. There are a number of medical conditions that contraindicate taking the YF vaccination including weakened immune system, taking steroids and other medications for treating long term/chronic illness, cancer, existing eggs/latex allergy and age 60+, etc.

When you go to get the shot, the facility will do a medical history to make sure you are qualified to have the YF vaccine. If you have a condition that contraindicates getting the YF vaccine, you can apply for a waiver (temp or permanent), depending on your condition/circumstances. Delta requires documentation from a doctor that you have an established relationship with prior to granting the waiver.

I'm not aware of anything other than a medical waiver at Delta.

Beyond the health issues surrounding the YF vaccine, certain countries require the vaccine (and records) to enter the country.

Ohhhhh, you were talking about a different "Yellow Fever".

The CDC website says that 1 out of 125,000 people are seriously injured from the yellow fever vaccine, and half of those people die. If the cdc admits it, you can be sure the numbers are even higher.

I personally know a family whose 6 month baby got a fever the same day after getting vaccines, and the next morning was dead. The doctor reported it as SIDS - he said it can't be from the vaccine.

As you can see from this example, the numbers are not accurate with vaccine injuries and deaths.

I received the yellow fever shot when Delta required it(even domestic guys were required to get it). The next day I had a low grade fever and headache. After that, no symptoms.
