They aren't ignorant, they know what they are doing - they want to kill kids and have them suffer at it
Really?
Fuckin' really?
I give up.
I'm sorry for the kids that are punished for having stupid parents, but maybe a few public incidents of children dying from entirely preventable diseases is what it takes for other parents to finally stop mindlessly parroting every piece of anti-vax BS they read on Telegram and vaccinate their kids after all.
Though at this point it's evident that we as a species have well and truly failed either way.

A sixth student at Florida's Manatee Bay Elementary School outside of Fort Lauderdale has a confirmed case of measles, health officials announced late Tuesday.
As such, the normal quarantine period for exposed and unvaccinated people, who are highly susceptible to measles, is 21 days.
"Because of the high likelihood of infection, it is normally recommended that children stay home until the end of the infectious period, which is currently March 7, 2024," Ladapo's letter states, adding that the date could change as the situation develops.
The measles cluster began Friday when a third grader, who had not recently traveled, was diagnosed with the vaccine-preventable illness.
The measles virus spreads easily through respiratory transmission and can linger in air space for up to two hours after an infected person has been in an area.
Two doses of the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine are 97 percent effective at preventing the disease.
