Vaccination exemption in CA, personal down, medical up

[Pat Mustard]

No, I wouldn't say they are culpable for their child's death. They made a foolish decision that made their child vulnerable to the disease, yes, and unfortunately as bad luck would have it, the child caught the disease.

But I don't see not giving a vaccine as an intrinsically dangerous thing to do, in and of itself.

*My emphasis*

I separated this for emphasis. Seriously though, CL, do you not see the problem here? Isn't it intrinsically dangerous not to safeguard your children against something that could kill them?

This isn't about a "foolish decision" this is about actively turning one's nose up at the fact that if you don't vaccinate your children *by choice* you are needlessly throwing them to the bacterial/viral wolves. We're talking neglectful and downright abusive levels of stupidity and willful ignorance.

Worse, by not vaccinating your kids you are actively engaging in a destructive course of action, destroying herd immunity and putting other peoples' children at risk.
