[quote:Anonymous Coward 16151153:MV8xOTgzNzc4XzMzNDU3NTMwX0ZFODIwREVC] [quote:Anonymous Coward 23722558:MV8xOTgzNzc4XzMzNDMzMzA1X0ExNkFCNEUy] Title is wrong, typical GLP sensationalism. "Twice as many unvaccinated" not "half as many vaccinated". Huge difference. To see the difference, suppose 1% of public school students are unvaccinated, so 99% are vaccinated. Twice as many unvaccinated is 2% of private school students unvaccinated, and 98% vaccinated. This is the real story. Half as many vaccinated would be 49.5% of private school students vaccinated, 50.5% unvaccinated. Unfortunately it's not like this!

There were [b]110 private schools statewide where more than half the kindergartners skipped some or all of their shots[/b], according to AP's analysis, with Highland Hall Waldorf School in Northridge - [b]where 84 percent opted out - topping the list[/b]." :stfu: And learn how to fucking read.

Original Message
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- Parents who send their children to private schools in California are much more likely to opt out of immunizations than their public school counterparts, an Associated Press analysis has found, and not even the recent re-emergence of whooping cough has halted the downward trajectory of vaccinations among these students.
The state surveys all schools with at least 10 kindergartners to determine how many have all the recommended immunizations. The AP analyzed that data and found the percentage of children in private schools who forego some or all vaccinations is more than two times greater than in public schools.
