General Discussion

have the luxury of not seeing major outbreaks of deadly diseases in the USA because of vaccines. People aren't afraid of dying of small pox or polio, and MMR are so far removed bc of vaccines, that people think: My kids don't need to be vaccinated. They can be pure and good and light and all will be honky dory!


But it's BS. If trends keep on the way they are, certain diseases will come raging back, and I fear that they can hit the unvaccinated really hard.

Education campaigns need to be enforced, as do rules regarding schools not being able to opt out.

Maybe the unvaccinated can start their own charters. My daughter's Montessori school requires vaccines. Public schools in NYC do as well. Luckily we don't allow opt outs as easily as California. I wish school districts would re-think.

This measles outbreak might be a blessing bc it might make school systems take a harder line. ETA: A blessing bc it's not a MORE deadly disease. As soon as the first person dies from this outbreak, I will take back my "blessing" remark. Because then it's an avoidable tragedy.
