Or even if it's not likely, vaccinations keep it that way. Herd immunity.

Depends on how you define danger. There's a cost to society.
Like everything in life it's a risk/reward evaluation. The problem is most people's risk meter is skewed, they get all wacky about vaccines but then happily pile all the kids into the minivan for a day at the park.
(Or are blissfully unaware of the actual risk if their child contracts one of the things the vaccines combat, no one seems to remember how terrible these things were)
