unvaccinated people who don't have the measles pose a risk to you getting measles how? They don't have it to give to you. It's the ones who get the vaccination that shed the virus.

You don't understand how vaccination works, do you?
Okay so let me explain: When a virus like the measles virus invades a person’s body, the immune system of this person begins to produce antibodies for this virus. This process takes time, and during this time the virus can spread to other people. So what the vaccine does, is to get the immune system more ready for the possibility of an attack by a specific virus (or bacteria or other infections). If a large enough portion of the population is vaccinated against a certain disease, it cannot become an epidemic. Even more so, if the virus or bacteria that causes this disease cannot spread itself fast enough, it will be completely eradicated from the area where the proportion of vaccinated people is large enough and then people like myself who are not vaccinated are safe in that region.
Unfortunately we cannot eradicate disease causing viruses and bacteria completely from the face of the earth, so we have to make sure that the population is vaccinated all the time.
If you don't understand shedding, then it is you who don't understand vaccination.
There are superior, safer, cheaper, technologies available to those who can move past the archaic vaccination cul-de-sac.
So what's in the vaccine?
potassium chloride - Until 2009, most states used a three-drug combination for lethal injections: an anesthetic (usually sodium thiopental, until pentobarbital was introduced at the end of 2010), pancuronium bromide (a paralytic agent, also called Pavulon), and potassium chloride (stops the heart and causes death). https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/state-lethal-injection
urea - a soluble weakly basic nitrogenous compound CO(NH2)2 that is the chief solid component of mammalian urine and an end product of protein decomposition, is synthesized from carbon dioxide and ammonia, and is used especially in synthesis (as of resins and plastics) and in fertilizers and animal rations https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/urea
monosodium L-glutamate (MSG)- Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a flavor enhancer commonly added to Chinese food, canned vegetables, soups and processed meats. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified MSG as a food ingredient that's "generally recognized as safe," but its use remains controversial. For this reason, when MSG is added to food, the FDA requires that it be listed on the label. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/monosodium-glutamate/faq-20058196
aborted human fetal cells - does this really need a definition?
bovine serum - Bovine serum is a by-product of the meat industry. Bovine blood may be taken at the time of slaughter, from adult cattle, calves, very young calves or (when cows that are slaughtered are subsequently found to be pregnant) from bovine fetuses. http://vaccines.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=005206#bovine
Meat industry byproduct, hmmm. CAFO is a commonly used acronym for concentrated animal feeding operation. http://www.sierraclub.org/michigan/why-are-cafos-bad E. coli 0157:H7 - Cattle are reservoirs for Shiga toxin producing E. coli bacteria. E. coli 0157:H7 strains do not make cattle sick because their bodies do not have receptors like humans do for the toxin to attach and replicate. Meat typically becomes contaminated with E. coli during the slaughtering process http://sphweb.bumc.bu.edu/otlt/mph-modules/ph/livestockproduction/LivestockProduction6.html
These are just a few of the ingredients in the Merck vaccine. I think I'll take my chances with the measles, oh wait, I already had the measles as a child, and miracle of miracles, I SURVIVED.
@aboutyourbiz, are you a Md or an immunologist?
Are you?
This is the genetic fallacy.
