It's shocking how far backwards we've gone with respect to basic science... When I was a kid, vaccines were a given. Nobody ever batted an eye.
Fuck Andrew Wakefield.
They should arrest the parents for negligence at this point. If any of the kids die they should get man slaughter charges.
Agreed. They should be charged. Adults and unborn fetuses have more rights than children do. A woman can miscarry and get charged with abuse of a corpse, if I drink and drive and kill someone I go to jail but if I choose not to vaccinate my child and the child dies I get a pass?
I agree but these assholes went beyond that and sent their sick kid with measles to daycare when they were explicitly told to quarantine. Like what the absolute fuck. It's beyond words how selfish and disgusting their actions are.
I don't see how this already doesn't amount to criminal negligence.
Even if no one dies, anyone financially harmed by their actions, be it the daycare or families of potentially exposed children should be able to sue this moron for their losses. Freedom of choice isn't freedom from consequence
There are legitimate medical conditions where you're not supposed to give the vaccine, some temporarily, some permanently. Given that the kid was a patient at CHoP, I'm inclined the give them the benefit of the doubt. I'm not excusing the parent for not getting the medication, nor for sending the kid to daycare, but I'm going to give the kid the benefit of the doubt on receiving the vaccine. [I suspect I'm wrong to do so, but am doing so nonetheless.]
