Health is not just an individual choice when epidemic diseases are involved. If the vaccination rate falls too low we will go back a century and many people will die.

this is hardly an epidemic disease, just hysterical propaganda.

Measles is not an epidemic disease currently, because of the vaccination rate.

High population immunity is required to interrupt measles virus transmission due to its high infectivity. The herd protection threshold for measles is the highest of all vaccine-preventable diseases and varies in different settings, ranging from 89% to 94%.9 Mathematical modelling has estimated the herd protection threshold at 92–95% in the United States of America (USA) Before the introduction of measles vaccine in 1963, major epidemics occurred approximately every 2 to 3 years and it is estimated that 30 million cases of measles and more than 2 million deaths occurred globally each year, and that by the age of 15 years, more than 95% of individuals had been infected with measles virus.
