@pbsnews: Epidemiologist Jessica Malaty Rivera said she is concerned about the “normalization of pediatric disease.” “There seems to be a trend that is okay with disease, disability and even death of children when it comes to childhood diseases like measles,” she told Horizons host William Brangham. “I do worry that we have become accustomed to preventable suffering among a young and vulnerable population because of a commitment to individual freedom,” she added. Horizons from PBS News dives into the science, health, technology and environmental issues making headlines each week.

we need to charge parents with endangering a child who don't vaccinate

What worries me is how we've normalized preventable childhood suffering in the name of individual freedom. Measles is not just a rash; it can cause severe complications, permanent disability and death. Vaccination is not just about protecting ourselves; it's about protecting infants and others who cannot yet be vaccinated.

I mean that’s on them. Some people don’t want to learn or read. It’s sad but some people won’t ever change their mind.

The fact of the matter is misinformation from the administration that’s a fact people . That the vaccines don’t work. Or etc.. the point is is those vaccines exist for a reason to help people and kids? The health administration. Right now is whack thanks to the Republican party. And the man who’s running it
