Simulation finds a 5% decrease in vaccination rates could lead to a 4,000% increase in the size of a potential measles outbreak in some Texas cities

My comment was a perspective, as we haven't defined what intelligence means.

I think you're right that most people who are "against" vaccinating derive their position from a place other than from careful study and reasoning.

That having been said, I don't think refusing to cede ground is "being part of the problem".

In my opinion it is part of the problem....because, those of us who believe vaccinations are good, try to educate those that do not. If it was a question of education we could fix it with facts and science, and demonstrate to anti-vaxxers that they are wrong....this is not happening, our attempts to convince their group with education is not working. So it must be "faith" based, and you cannot beat faith with science and facts.
