The analysis didn't explore the reasons for the declining vaccination rates, but the researchers briefly speculated that the slide toward preventable outbreaks could be due to COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy bleeding over to routine vaccinations, or simply backlash to vaccine mandates during the pandemic.
It's almost as if when you repeatedly lie to people about the safety of an untested vaccine, and they experience injuries or worse due to said untested vaccine, they'll be less likely to trust the people pushing other vaccines in the future.
Regardless, the researchers pointed to evidence-based strategies to boost vaccination, including school-based vaccination clinics, enforcement of school vaccination requirements, and strong recommendations from health care providers for routine vaccinations.
So now the narrative desperately pivots from "Muh covid/monkeypox/bird flu" to "But someone please think of the children!"
The demons are coming for the children. Be vigilant, goats.

The attitude of public health officials and many doctors and nurses is apparently one of utter contempt and disregard for the general public. They have demonstrated that they don't feel obligated to tell us what is in these vaccines, and that they know what's best for us. They feel no obligation to explain themselves or their motivations to any of us. So my attitude towards them is rational mistrust.
