Liam's parent sought and received the vaccination for Liam....

Liam dies two days later....

Since there is no mention of HHS or anybody else preventing Liam's parents from getting the vaccination for Liam, how does this anecdote support a claim of anti science bias?

First, this is deceptive because it implies Liam died two days after the vaccination. Not true. He died two days after getting a headache indicating he contracted the disease.

And..

We've gone over herd immunity ad nauseam here.

"Herd immunity refers to enough people being immunized to a disease that the infection can't spread easily from one person to another. This lack of movement protects those who aren't immunized, or vulnerable. Vaccines are one way that we can become immune to dangerous diseases."

For some diseases you need a 95% vaccination rate to protect the vulnerable. Rumor has it that Vaxx separatists have established Tierra NonVaxia in Tierra del Fuego, but you have to parachute in. :)
