[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so wrong. Why are we not criminalizing this? [/quote]

Who are you going to charge?  The baby was too young to be vaccinated when she contracted the measles that eventually killed her.

Our Health Secretary RFK Jr appointed by our President Trump spreads lies about vaccines on a daily basis paid for by us taxpayers.

Every single parent who refuses to vaccinate their kids, that's who. We don't need to wait until someone dies.[/quote]

I wish we could force the issue, but we can't. Vaccine mandates just fan the flames of hysterical conspiracies. All the drama over covid vaccines is exactly why we now have an antivaxxer as Health Secretary. The best approach, although it is imperfect, is education, patience, and kindness. Remember, antivaxxers are trying to do the best they can for their kids. They're utterly misguided, but forcing them is NOT a solution, that just leads to more resentment.[/quote]
Vaccine mandates essentially eliminated measles, mumps, rubella, and diptheria.  They absolutely work.  Someone else can be patient and kind.  These people are putting their own and other children at risk because they are stupid and selfish.  I don't care if they're resentful, I care if they are a public health risk. [/quote]

How many of these kids even attend public school? I’d be curious. Seems likely there is a lot of overlap with anti vax & homeschooling or private school. [/quote]
Not sure; may vary by state because different states have different rules.  But even if they're not in public school, they are usually in public: church, stores, planes, etc.  [/quote]
