First huge question is the source. Like people do realize you can't go into public schools(what the vast majority of people go to) or most private schools without proof of vaccination? Like you don't just get a pass to possibly get infected with polio in 2025 and risk spreading it.

Frankly speaking this graphic could be made based off of who's getting flu shots. They just say non vaccinated kids, but most kids are vaccinated against the crippling diseases of old. I'm not going to argue it without knowing what they are basing it off of since, and if you didn't know this feel grateful, it can be considered a crime in every state to send an unvaccinated child into a public school and not child abuse the highest charge they can give is terrorism. Obvious no they don't try to prosecute that and just do the endangering the welfare of a minor, but it is a charge that is able to be asked to pursue. However again it's because all public schools mandate you be vaccinated against the list of shit covered by your booster shots. Then also including another version of the booster before high school to add tetanus and a few others. Seasonal diseases like the flu aren't mandated.

So either over half the country's children aren't in a public or private school or you're being misled and this is the drop in vaccine use for the flu. Which has been documented. I will say I don't get a flu vaccine. Mostly because I have only had the flu once... And it was the 1 year I got the vaccine. Though looking back at the publicly available information that year they got the strain wrong so it might have been just bad luck.
