My new* doctor told me yesterday that I was due for DPT at my next 6 month appointment. Considering my accident-proneness, I keep my DPT up to date. Fun fact, my great grandfather died of tetanus.
*my old doc has moved to VV’s area.

There is a subset of people who seem to believe the worst despite the evidence.
My mother in law would consult a dozen people when making an important decision and would always go with the one naysayer no matter. It was exhausting trying to get her to make important decisions.

I had natural mumps and chicken pox, but I was volunteered for a clinical trial of the measles vaccine by my parents and it evidently took.

I'm also 6'. Apparently at that height you're considered "overweight" unless you're below 185. I haven't seen 185 since college.

As I posted above, I think it’s that people don’t weight risks consistently. We vastly over-weight low probability-high consequence events if they seem to be targeted at us as individuals, and ignore huge, impersonal threats like automobile disease. This kind of thing is the basis of behavioral economics and we need to employ lots of those folks to help us understand and supply the incentives and nudges required to get people to change their behavior, I think yelling, shaming, and attempts to “educate” with facts only push them further into irrationality.
“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'”
