Anti-vaxxers would not be in any particular danger from their own foolishness, though, if we weren't eagerly inviting the disease into the population and moving it all over the place. MMR's comeback in the US owes itself almost entirely to our young arrivals from places where MMR vaccination is not nearly the norm it is in the US, being dumped into American population centers.
So I guess Americans will be starting to wear medical masks like in China so they don't get infected with the plague.
Keep it up, anti-vaxxers.
I do still hope that many other countries will follow australias lead and punish people who dont vaccinate their kids!
Probably the most illustrative thread I've seen lately for who reads the article before commenting.
I caught it on Slate/Washing Post earlier today. Pretty disturbing turn of events. I certainly hope it doesn't take much more tragedy to shut up the loons.
"The woman was probably exposed to measles at a medical facility during a measles outbreak this spring, according to the health department. She was at the hospital at the same time as a patient who later developed a rash and was diagnosed with measles. Patients with measles can spread the virus even before showing symptoms.
The woman, who died of pneumonia, had other health conditions and was taking medications that suppressed her immune system, the health department said."
Most important part of the article. She wasn't even the one refusing the vaccination. That means she died because of someone else's stupidity. This is unacceptable, we need to make the basic vaccinations mandatory before these diseases make any more of a comeback.
I was expecting the child of an anti-vaxxer to die, it's somewhat more bitter knowing that those parents essentially killed someone else's child and probably feel less guilty than had it been their own. I can't imagine how I'd feel if that was my kid, the sheer anger at someone elses stupidity must be overwhelming.
I never said they were an anti-vaxxer. They wished a horrfic disease to teach people a lesson. You really need to brush up on your comprehension skills.

Oh by the way she was also vaccinated against the measles. Health officials said she had the injection as a child but succumbed because she had a compromised immune system.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-problems.html
