This is a step back for science in the service of public health - I'm sad for the many children that will die needless deaths
2 comments

Maybe the lack of deaths is what raises this anti-vaccine ideology.

Where I come from, whenever 2 old women meet, I noticed they always ask how many children they had. And the response is always a variation of: 6 children, 4 alive, 2 dead.

Child mortality is still present in their minds. This is inconceivable to me but my generation still listens to the stories. The future generations are not gonna listen to these stories, the US is probably already in such a future.

Just look at this as a step forward for natural selection. Anti-vaxers will remove themselves from the gene pool.
