there's been no association shown whatsoever between the mmr vaccine and autism. but let's say for religious reasons or some other reason you don't want to have it. you're putting all the other kids at school at risk. this is a public health hazard because measles is 90% contagious compared to the flu that we've been talking about, only 25%. so in other words, if eric has the flu, the chances of him spreading it to arthel is one in four. the chances of eric spreading measles to arthel would be 90%. >> i thought that measles was basically stamped out in our country. >> well, that's actually true. and that's part of the conversation we're having. for a decade nobody was talking about measles. and now last career and this year, the numbers are on the rise. >> do we know why? >> i think 90% of it is because of unvaccinated kids. that's the reason what's going on. some of it is because of the fear of perhaps it's connected to autism. and the science has not shown -- and again, the science has not shown that getting the mmr vaccine can cause autism. i know jenny mccarth

. >> there was a study done in 2004 on the effect of timing of the mmr and autism rates and the studye out and said that there was no effect. however, a whistle bloar came out in the last year or so and said that the c.d.c. did find a connection, that autism was 3.4 times more common in black boys who got the mmr on time than it was in black boys who got it -- >> larry: oh, now she's making it a race thing! >> i have to ask you a question. how old are your kids? >> 15. and 8 do. they wear helmets when they ride their bikes? knee pads? i wet your kids have knee pads, neck braces. >> larry: has health services visited your house? >> yes. i'm a regular stop. but there is an inherent risk in life. >> larry: together why is it hard to accept it? here's what i think some of it is. i think moms have a lot of guilt when their kids have issues. disadz have a different relationship. dads are, like, you will be okay. but there's a lot of guilt that goes with raising kids if kids are autistic and that kind of thing. do you think guilt plays a factor in that? >> i think people just want some sense

because of the fear perhaps it's connected to autism and the science has not shown that getting the mmr vaccine can cause autism. i know jenny mccarthy disagrees with what i'm saying. she's been a big voice with what she saw with her kid and then later with the diet, it's probably some genetic, whether it's genes or some external force that's causing this, could be a diet, or whatever it is. >> chemicals. >> eric, we're better at diagnosing autism now. we understand it a little bit better and still have a long way to go. to scare people to say this vaccine can cause autism, that's a mistake. maybe through the borders, we have kids coming from other countries not vaccinated and south america other kids coming and in europe the amount of vaccination has gone down. >> we covered that story extensively here. are they examined by the cdc, the health authorities in the state of arizona? >> not to the extent of their vaccination records -- >> do you think that is a public health problem eventually? >> of course. that's a huge concern. i'm not into politics of this. from a health standpoint you

>> there is no evidence that says that autism is -- has any relation to the mmr vaccine. >> reporter: so why then >> so why are parents choosing not to have kids vaccinated? >> it is a misconception that has been out there. i hope they understand there is no evidence that links the two together. so having their children vaccinated not only protects their children but it protects the community as well. >> protecting kids as well. to that end, there is some doctors, we're learning won't even see kids in their offices who may be coming for something else if they hadn't been vaccinated for measles. >> correct. it is important to know that the symptoms of measles and to know that if you think you may be sick that you should stay home. >> so talk about the shot then to prevent measles and its effectiveness. this is a situation that is problematic, obviously in arizona and california. >> correct. it is two doses of a vaccine. the first dose will protect you 93%. and the second dose will protect you 99%. so it is highly effective. >> we're hearing the vaccine and the shots are for kids. what

we don't start with the mmr vaccine until the age of 1 because they can't mount an immune response.e second one before they go to school but a lot of parents are saying, no, they're signing something and saying no we don't want it, putting other chirp at risk. -- other children at risk. stuart: the cdc is backing up what i've been saying all along i don't want to get a flu shot, they say it's only 23% effective this year. come on, doctor. >> first of all, it's going to be about 40% effective by the end of the year when the other strains come in. they come in late in the year. those haven't been added to the picture yet. second no downside to getting this vaccine because it decreases hospitalization rates or visits to me and other doctors by that 40% i'm talking about. thirdly, that's not what the cdc says. they want you to get a flu shot but they're pointing out since it doesn't work as well this year diagnose it earlier, isolate people who are sick and consider using antiviral medications like tamiflu earlier in the game and i agree with that. but get the flu shot! stuart: you just

. >> reporter: he said he's given more mmr shots this all of last year.ren are 3 to give them the mmr vaccines and thinks this measles outbreak is overblown. so, this isn't as serious of a disease as people are making out to be in your view? >> it's nothing to be taken lightly but to -- but to frighten people into getting an mmr by leading them to believe that measles has a high complication rate or a haifa talty rate is wrong. >> reporter: still doctor who works across town says the disney outbreak shut be a wake-up call to those who have opted out. about a quarter of those infected in california have ended up in the hospital. >> we hope they vaccinate their children appropriately. >> reporter: he says the rising number of cases might help pediatricians make a stronger argument to vaccine-hesitant parents who have been bombarded with conflicting information. >> we have great evidence to show what happens with measles. many people get very ill and some die. i think it gives us again, an example of the importance of vaccination, what a great public health

science is really solid behind the motion that getting vaccinated at one is the four years old with mmr is the safest smartest thing to do, people are entitled to different opinions, they are not entitled to different sets of facts. has he been presented facts that aren't the case? >> i think the biggest information that has been out there from dr. sears and from others is it is just measles. measles happens look, nobody has died yet from it, it is not serious the reality is that of the 22 persons that we have identified with measles seven of them have been hospitalized it can make you badly ill. if we have 1,000 people get meise sell one of the 1,000 will die. those are the numbers so it isn't a does to trifle with. >> even if parents that do believe in vaccines dr. sears offing a variation. >> you don't want a shot. three-year-old twins colton and gunner have been dreading this trip. we are not worried about shots right now. >> today they are off the hook. novak seen for another two months while most children their age are fully vaccinated already, dr. sears tells parents that it's ok

if you can show me proof where that mmr is controlling this spread of this disease then let me see itr as i know there are no studies. >> let me throw one thing out here. >> we eradicated it. >> there were fewer than 2,000. that's the vaccine. >> no it's not the vaccine. people think that polio is eradicated when polio increased because diseases ebb and flow. manipulating disease, millions of people being injected with shots where you have no clue where they're coming from who's making them what's in them and kids get sick from auto-inoculation. that's quite possible what the spikes are from. you don't know. >> you know what erin. we live in great country where she can continue to have the approach to life which is you don't know for sure but unfortunately, you don't know for sure never cured a disease. science has cured diseases. if her position is i'm not so sure i want to trust the cdc, i'd rather trust an actress or my own feelings. feel free to do so. you're absolutely free to do so. if you make those choices and fail to inoculate your children then you should be held liable unde
