#1 Clownshack When their children die because they refused to vaccinate them, the parents should be charged with negligent homicide and child abuse.

#2 Legallydead I hope you're being sarcastic, because anyone with a functioning brain could have predicted this.

It's Gawd's fault.

Gawd was supposed to heal them.

Can we arrest Gawd for negligence and human abuse?

Silver lining is that doctors in training will actually get to see and treat preventable diseases. When I was a resident and intern, never did see pertussis, measles (rubella), polio, tetanus or rubeola.
Syphilis and other STD's have also made a comeback.
I saw a graphic recently that resistant bacteria will cause more deaths by 2050 than cancer.

Migrants are not vaccinated. They are reservoirs of disease.
