Stories are surfacing about measles outbreaks happening in various U.S. locales. Pretty clearly these are largely the responsibility of parents who won’t get their children vaccinated against the so-called childhood diseases of measles, chicken pox, whooping cough, and mumps. Unvaccinated illegal immigrants probably play a role as carriers too.
People who won’t vaccinate are just asking for the Darwin Award for their children. Some of those children will ‘win’ it too. Ironically, these refuseniks are probably the same folk who won’t let their sons play football - “too dangerous.”
The parents’ refusal to vaccinate seems criminal negligence to me, but it also appears to generate its own draconian penalties on a random basis. Sadly, those doing the dying aren’t those making the bad decisions.
