    Any exemptions that aren’t medical should be illegal. This is literally the most contagious disease on the planet and it kills kids. If kids are going to go to crowded places together, like schools, they should be required to be vaccinated against measles.

      And the other shoe is to hold the parents accountable.

      No medical reason for exemption and little Johnny just got his class sick?

      I dunno, you lose your right to vote or something. Or you have to be someone’s butler.

        Absolutely. And it should be considered manslaughter + neglect if a child dies because some parents refused to vaccinate.

            Yes, and all of the people claiming this are supposed Christians. There is nothing in Christianity, either Catholic or Protestant, which precludes vaccination.

      This really is the simplest solution.

      Also, the government can’t really do a lot about it because of free speech laws, but like Google and Facebook and so on that gleefully spread anti-vax nonsense should be held accountable. Youtube could just refuse to host anti-vax videos. But I guess all they care about is money, and not enough people are angry enough to start hanging directors and c-suites yet.
