and a shining example of why states have public health laws mandating children who don't have medical contraindications to be vaccinated before entering any public school.

I support the right of adults to believe any damnfool nonsense they want to but that right ends when it endangers other people around them. Morons have to be overruled for the common good.

I've seen idiot nurses be fired for refusing flu vaccine. It needed to happen. Likewise, people caring for children in crowded situations need to be vaccinated against proven killers of children. Flu disproportionately kills the young and old. Kids need to be protected.

People who weren't exposed to a lot of these diseases as children have simply forgotten that they are all potentially deadly. That's the only reason the antivax stupidity has gotten anywhere.

Those of us over 60 remember them all too well.

This woman might be a loving mom to all the kids she's raising. However, her stupidity needs to be overruled by public health concerns and, failing that, the kids need to be placed with people who aren't nutcases.

And the pay check that comes with it every month. She adopted this baby so to "lose" means give it back, not dead like I thought. They shouldn't let her adopt ANY kids with this attitude.
