Check out the tsunami of white American kids refusing to get even the most basic vaccines (because Jesus) ... polio and other long-forgotten diseases are about to make a big comeback.

"Insane" doesn't do it justice. We need new words.

Norwegian has another US-inspired term for crazy: "Helt Texas" ("completely Texas") [1]

(Though to be fair, that is mostly used for a hyperbolic allusion to the Hollywood version of the wild west, and translating it as something being "wild west" would perhaps better carry the meaning, but I still find it funny)

MENTIONING race is not racist.

Being white, voting for Trump, and claiming a Christian-evangelical religious exemption is core to these vaccine objectors' identity.

If you're American and you don't know this, you should definitely read one of many article about this trend. Because it is about to kill many people.
