Parents who refuse to vaccinate against medical advice should have their children taken from them, it’s neglect

Parents choosing not to vaccinate, even giving them the bullshit autism claim, is saying they’d rather their children be dead than that woke neurodivergent autistic, which is insane

People have a hard time conceptualizing exponential growth. The exact type of people who would be anti-vaxxers and are the ones who would not be concerned by 1400 cases.
And yeah when something works people stop believing that the thing that worked was necessary so they stop taking it, and you sometimes need a relapse for people to accept it was needed.
This happens to people at an individual level too. People I know who have daily meds often feel like “i’m cured now why do i need to keep taking this” and stop for a while only to discover the daily med is still needed.

after enough unvaccinated kids have permanent life altering effects from the outbreak the anti-vaxxers close to those kids will likely change their beliefs.
damn shame kids might die for it to happen

This data isn’t beautiful, it’s downright horrifying. The level of willful ignorance necessary to put children (and other vulnerable people) at risk, when we’ve had a measles vaccine for decades is mind boggling.

Fuck these people. Getting vaccinated is a civic duty.

Are most of these in Salt Lake City? Do a large majority (or all) Mormons reject vaccinations or modern medicine?

I have bad news about the r value of measles. Cases are not going to climb at a linear rate.
