People who choose not to vaccinate their children are unfit parents. Unless the child is not medically able to take vaccines, it’s the same as not feeding them, or failing to meet other basic survival needs. Additionally, they’re endangering other children who have a legitimate medical reason for avoiding vaccines. The Department of Children's Services should become involved.

Just wait for Polio to come back. Maybe then people will remember how important these basic vaccines are. Effects will be horrifying but that seems necessary for people that don't vaccinate their children.

I'm curious to see the voting trends of the parents...

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The rise in cases should “alert us, rather than alarm us,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the C.D.C.

Doctors say there are several factors contributing to the spread of measles, cases of which have climbed across the globe in recent years.

So far, cases have appeared in at least 17 U.S. states: Arizona, California, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington and Florida.

In Florida, the state surgeon general released guidance that contradicted widespread medical advice and allowed parents to send unvaccinated children to school amid a measles outbreak.

issued a health advisory encouraging parents to vaccinate children older than six months before traveling internationally, regardless of their destination.

Those kinds of conversations — parents seeking health information directly from doctors that they trust — can be a vital tool in what Dr. Daskalakis views as an “uphill battle.”
