It's what happens when certain circles experience outbreaks of potentially fatal diseases that they assumed no longer existed (measles, whooping cough etc). Not long ago there were various pockets of these diseases throughout the states and it was all centered amongst the no vaccination communities. The virus still exist and by not vaccinating people allow them to take hold again which quite honestly is just plain old irresponsible stupidity. The reason it is important is because a vaccination does not make every single person immune, nor does the medical community say they do. But they make enough people immune that transmission doesn't occur nearly as readily if at all.
It's not coincidence that as vaccination rates have decreased the rate of these diseases has increased. It's quite simply not theory. It's fact.
