||1: Ms McCarthy and her ill-informed followers bear only part of the blame. ||2: At least as important is the phasing-out, in the 1990s, of an old vaccine which had nasty side-effects. The immunity conferred by the replacement appears to wear off sooner;health officials urge older children and adults to take a booster jab, but few do. ||3: Still, kooky anti-vaccination fears appear to be doing real harm. ||4: A study of a 2010 whooping-cough epidemic in California, in which ten babies died, found that areas where many people refused to vaccinate their kids were 2.5 times likelier to have high incidences of whooping cough. ||5: No such study has been conducted on this year's outbreak, although the wealthy coastal enclaves of Marin, Napa and Sonoma counties are among the hardest-hit.

||1:麦卡锡和她那一无所知的同事们对此负有一部分责任。||2:至少重要的是，在20世纪90年代，一部分产生了严重副作用的老疫苗被逐步淘汰，而更换的新疫苗产生的免疫力已经渐渐消退；卫生官员们督促那些年龄较大的儿童和成人再去注射疫苗以刺激免疫力，但是几乎没人去做。||3:古怪的反疫苗情绪似乎造成了实质性的伤害。||4:2010年加州曾经流行过百日咳，造成了10名婴儿死亡，对该疫情的一个研究发现大部分人都拒绝为孩子注射疫苗的地区百日咳疫情发生率是其他地区的2.5倍。||5:尽管今年马林、纳帕和索诺玛郡富裕的沿海围地是疫情最严重的地区，但没有人对这次疾病爆发的数据进行研究。
