If using the law to corral antivaxxers doesn’t work at first, try, try again. At least, that seems to be the lesson learned by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. On Tuesday, he declared a state of emergency and mandated residents of the Williamsburg neighborhood, where an outbreak of measles has been raging since last fall, get vaccinated for the viral disease. Those who choose not to will risk the penalty of a $1,000 fine.

The fact that you used it as a throw-in in your table.

It was reported by the people who ran the vaccine trial, is there some reason I should not have included it?

Anyway, whatever... now you're just doing weird nitpicking so you have some reason to ignore the facts. It is clear you don't have any useful input here.
Please find this non-existent clean data you think is required, or admit that there is no way to make a direct comparison between measles and vaccination complications. Therefore there is no empirical basis for recommending vaccines... Because if you demand clean data it really is one or the other.

You're the one who was making an assertion. It's your duty to either back it up with read facts of retract it.

Don't even know what assertion you are referring to, you are just attempting to waste the time of someone who has clearly put more effort into understanding this topic than you.
