Measles are making a comeback 14 years after the disease wasvirtually eliminated. Diptheria, of all things, is breaking out again.
I personally know a antivaxer who steadfastly draws a line at vaccinating her kids, but when her dog had puppies she wanted to sell, those dogs got shots in a hurry. Mainly because the last litter was wiped out by parvo because she didn’t vaccinate.
I’m all about personal freedoms and I think we go way over the line criminalizing behaviors that are basically personal choices.
But when do we start to applying consequences for a personal action? The guy who started the big fire out west was ordered to repay $8 million in damages. Is an antivaxer a serial killer if their choice results in several deaths as a consequence? And why don’t insurance companies charge more to cover unvaccinated individuals for the diseases they could potentially get? Who pays for the treatment of those infected?
Something is going to have to be done. Its not getting done at a state level either. It will be ome an issue when it touches people personally.
