If only there was some way to prevent this from happening. /s

I think they are trying the "let them die" approach. Bold strategy, let's see how it works out.

Fortunately/unfortunately well so far. Very few have died from this so, like COVID, they'll probably feel justified that they were either stuck at home for a week or in the hospital only a few days and completely avoided that "dangerous shot".

Bleak in the US, rest of the world still believes in vaccines and medical science.

Ontario just hit 1000 cases.
Quebec says the outbreak is over so does New Brunswick

Canada is at risk of losing its elimination status for measles, which the country has maintained since 1998
Yikes

France has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the developed world, and this particular bit of nonsense (MMR is dangerous) is specifically linked to a British doctor who was trying to increase uptake on his “new” vaccines.

Vaccine nonsense got all around the world

Boy, I hope congress doesn't put an anti-vax idiot in charge of health

Stupid adults being stupid and paying for their stupidity is one thing. But 1) this affects their kids, and 2) this can affect my kid (<1yo) and anyone who can't get vaccinated because they're immunocompromised/etc.
-
Even fully vaccinated people are at risk. A vaccinated man in Colorado was just diagnosed with measles. Of course, the severity of his illness will be greatly diminished by being vaccinated, but still.

Americans give their kids guns year after year after school shooting after school shooting.
Stupid is in the Constitution.

I empathize with the immunocompromised but I think the children of the antivaxxer's that survive are all bound to develop an incurable case of survival bias.
