It’s a little incredible that somebody like Mitch McConnell, who still suffers the consequence of childhood polio is not the loudest proponent of vaccination.

I mean where the fuck is this guy that he says nothing?

I got measles as an adult. It was the worst I've ever felt - I gave up caring whether I lived or died, I just wanted it to end.

I seriously resent - and reject - the claim that others have the right to put their children and innocent third parties (such as myself) at risk of being infected with - and perhaps killed by - preventable diseases.

To my mind anti-vaxers are committing a form of should-be criminal assault and battery.

Moreover, I do not believe that parents should have the unfettered, almost plenary power to make decisions against their children's interest in having a healthy life.
