Results. Children of parents who received at least 1 dose of the COVID-19 vaccine had higher MMR vaccination rates (80.8%) than did children of unvaccinated parents (60.9%; odds ratio [OR] = 1.84; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.68, 2.00). We observed lower MMR vaccination rates among children of parents who identified as Republican versus Democratic (OR = 0.73; 95% CI = 0.64, 0.82), parents on Medicaid or Medicare versus private insurance (OR = 0.85; 95% CI = 0.76, 0.95), and minority (OR = 0.44) versus White (OR = 0.71) parents. We found higher MMR vaccination rates in the Northeast and Midwest United States.
But what is the end result? Who’s getting sick more now?

My kids are fully vaccinated. We did it on an extended schedule as the number of simultaneous shots they give to kids is ridiculous. We are also all fully COVID vaccinated, though never boosted. That said, I would be much more skeptical of a lot of the vaccine recommendations if I was doing it again today. Just like learning how little is being taught in school, that is the new world their overreach has created
