Ever wish you had a crystal ball to peer at your future? Non-vaxxing parents, here you go. A private school in Virginia where a host of students have parents who don't believe in vaccinations was forced to close its doors last month.
The problem? An outbreak of a communicable disease easily prevented with a vaccination, naturally. Of the 30 people down with whooping cough at the Blue Mountain School, 23 were students (half the student body), and none had been vaccinated with the DPT shot that prevents pertussis, the medical term for whooping cough.
