What do you think can?
in Texas? measles
Stiff penalties for not vaccinating, and a local and state government less corrupt that is able to provide enforcement and better assistance.
I don’t get the education angle here, the anti vaccination parents can’t be fixed like that, and many of them were not educated in the state ; but they can be made to follow health codes.
That said, Texas needs better education system. But this another issue entirely
We need to stop letting people refuse to vaccinate purely on philosophical grounds. If you claim a religious reason for not getting vaccinated then your group better officially have that position. In my home state, New Jersey, most who refuse to vaccinate are not part of a faith that bans vaccinations.
I like having no exemptions except medical due to other health conditions . It used to be this way in most places until the generations who suffered the diseases moved on
Large religious communities who hate vaccinations, will only respond to large fines against the parents.
The religious part should be very specifically focused on groups that literally have a blanket opposition to vaccines that is previously well documented. In NJ it is largely ultra orthodox Jewish families, whose sects tend to not oppose vaccines, and parents with philosophical objections that avoid vaccination.
And the religious community in Texas that is ground zero to this outbreak? I bet they have generations of documented “insights” and prayer. These go deep, and are not just a fly by night community, and there are many of these.
Vaccinations for all I think. These fuckers travel
