    If your child is vaccinated then they are 97% protected.

    You’re probably still more statistically likely to get bit by an alligator, or stabbed by a homeless man.

      Thats not how statistic work.

      At 97%, a thousand children in attendance were exposed that would translate to 30 vaccinated children being infected.

      If 30 children at the tournament were stabbed by the homeless, it would be international news and be labeled a massacre.
