Nope. You don't both accept the science, you do, he doesn't. He believes that natural immunity is better than "artificial" immunity. That's plain nonsense, absolutely no science there. Also, with measles, it's not just the mortality rate, it's also about the grave side effects for those who do survive. He just says he accepts the science, but it's all empty words to make sticking head into the ground easier for him.

No, that's not true. There actually is some evidence that naturally acquired immunity is stronger and lasts longer than vaccine-acquired immunity. It is also arguable (and he does argue) that interfering too much with natural selection can have unforeseen but wide-ranging negative consequences in the future.
