we are already getting outbreaks and exporting measles from the happiest land on Earth to both Canada and Mexico, both of which have national surveillance and mandatory vaccinations. So yes, outright epidemics are indeed next if we continue down this path of belief based exceptions
I think the further proof is that once the State had mandatory vaccination, and once that was relaxed, those rates not just dropped, they crashed in some places. Care to look at Marin County?

Ok for fairness, here is Orange County

By the way, I suppose you are also against the implementation of AB 32, which is seen as a key to control climate change and has been in the books for almost ten years now.
You should also check the other two states where Dr. Pan got the inspiration from, those are very deep red old Miss and not so red W. Virginia. I might add, only two states with 99 percent vaccination rates.
Oh and one last thing, pulling "concentration camps" which nobody is threatening anybody with is unhelpful. People can home school. Once their little darlings though reach college, well, they will have to catch up in vaccinations though. And many jobs do require it, like medical field, and if any go to the military, poor dears will be given all their vaccines in the first few hours of military induction.
