Let me get this straight -- I am presenting documentation of how a small select group of people who refused to get vaccinated or vaccinate their children are the cause of a large, widespread public health hazard outbreak...
... And you want to argue for their rights to shit in our collective health "wellspring"?
Whatever happened to you stating that someone's rights end when they negatively affect others, such as their right to go out in public without fear of getting seriously ill?
We all know there are steps you can take to mitigate disease. None were taken by these a-holes, and because of that, a large swathe of the population were exposed.
I bet you're going to argue that the government had no right to lock up Typhoid Mary ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoid_Mary ), because she had a right to self-determination and what would happen to her body as well, regardless of the consequences.
