jenny mccarthy links her son's autism to his vaccinations. she said he has since been cured through gluten-free diet and alternative medicines. people often feel that they are protected from diseases through herd community. if others are vaccinated then their own children won't catch it. it requires a 80% to 90% vaccination rate which some communities in the u.s. are struggling to achieve. nearly half of american toddlers born between 2004 and 2008 were not up-to-date on their shots for undane reasons like work schedules, transportation problems and insurance woes. >> what really worries us is that measles can be deadly. up to 30% of people who get measles could have some complication. >> if measles complications were to stop worldwide the "world health organization" warns people would die every year from a preventable disease. >> just this week the colorado hospital of representatives passed a bill to make it harder for parents to voluntarily opt out of vaccinations. if they don't want to vaccination viccinizethen they will have too through
