Florida's measles vaccination rate is "not great, not terrible". It is not among the 10 worst states.

and of the 89% that are vaccinated, about 3% will be unprotected (because vaccines aren't perfect) and so will be vulnerable, through no fault of their own [parents], with a 1 in 20 chance of developing pneumonia and a 3 in 1,000 chance of dying of the infection (per the article).

Unless this "eruption" results in proportional child deaths this is a non-story for the unvaccinated and it's not going convince anybody of anything. It's just rage-bait for those of us who have to deal with the consequences.
