[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2025/what-to-know-about-measles-and-vaccines Information about measles from Johns Hopkins Is measles dangerous? Yes. Here in the U.S., about 1 in 5 unvaccinated people will require hospitalization from measles. In 2024, that rate was even higher—about 40% of people with measles were hospitalized. Measles can also lead to more severe issues, including pneumonia, encephalitis, brain damage, and pregnancy complications. Complications of measles can occur in anyone, including in healthy children and adults. Scientists have found that measles wipes out the body’s memory of bacteria and viruses. This weakens your immune system, making you more likely to get sick from other diseases. This effect can last for years." Another thing to consider: if you or your child has recently had COVID, your immune system may be weaker than normal.[/quote] Insurance should not pay for hospitalization of unvaccinated children. [/quote] If insurance doesn't pay then we, the taxpayers pay. ERs cannot turn away uninsured patients, at least in some hospitals that receive public funding. So, what do you propose exactly? Let's unpack your opinion here.. What you really suggest is that ERs should turn away children whose vaccination status cannot be determined (because undetermined is classified as unvaxxed). Unless vaccine passports are mandatory and have to be present on each person every time it's impossible to impose the rule you want. Also, you cannot test for titers to see if one is immune as you say this test take a long time. What is it that you want? [/quote]
