Prosecuted for what?States Rush To Debate New Vaccine Laws As Measles Outbreak Spreads
It's a touchy subject because it involves Government dictating what many consider a parenting decision.
Am I confused or are people who WERE vaccinated at a child catching measles? -- I found one report that says roughly 3% of vaccinated people who come in contact with measles will develop symptoms. USA Today reported the health officials in CA believe that number to be 18% -- seems kind of high.
I think public schools can require vaccinations and if there's an outbreak, there should be an investigation to find out which parent lied and they should be prosecuted.
You do know that measles is a survivable childhood disease, right? You do know that the mortality rate of measles is very, very low.....right?
- Measles is one of the leading causes of death among young children even though a safe and cost-effective vaccine is available.
- In 2013, there were 145 700 measles deaths globally – about 400 deaths every day or 16 deaths every hour.
- Measles vaccination resulted in a 75% drop in measles deaths between 2000 and 2013 worldwide.
- In 2013, about 84% of the world's children received one dose of measles vaccine by their first birthday through routine health services – up from 73% in 2000.
WHO Measles
- During 2000-2013, measles vaccination prevented an estimated 15.6 million deaths making measles vaccine one of the best buys in public health.
US and CDC. Show me where it is even on the top ten list yet alone a leading cause.

If you want to throw the US in with other countries that have universal healthcare and their people are dying at a rate not seen in the US that is your business.
BTW the black plague ended without vaccination.

It's true, our vaccination program works....when the idiot anti-vaxxers are as small in number as they are in IQ.
