Which American cities have lowest herd immunity due to anti-vaxxers?

mostlysignssomeportents:

Parents of Seattle, Spokane, Portland, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Provo,
Houston, Fort Worth, Austin, Plano, Detroit, Troy, Warren, Kansas City
and Pittsburgh: beware.

According to a peer reviewed study of kindergartners
whose parents had opted out of vaccination, these cities are the places
with the lowest herd immunity to preventable, debilitating (and
potentially fatal) diseases.

Vaccinations are not 100% effective, and some people can’t be vaccinated
due to illness. The reason vaccination keeps our children of dying or
being maimed for life by the diseases that burned through generation
after generation is “herd immunity”: if all the kids get immunized, then
the disease can’t find enough people to infect and spread.
