vax i have mixed feelings about people who choose to not vaccinate their kids. first, they're stupid. it's generally a waste of time to argue with stupid people. second, they mostly put themselves at risk. mostly. if you expose 100 vaccinated people to measles it's likely one is going to get the disease. yeah sure it's likely to be a mild case. but that's still pretty frikken miserable for a week. and quarantined. if you expose 100 un-vaccinated people to measles you'll get 90 infected people. who then go expose more people. and you can see how outbreaks occur. third, babies haven't been vaccinated yet. they are particularly vulnerable to preventable killer diseases. they depend on everyone around them for protection. don't be a baby killer. just don't. okay, so you've decided to be an idiot. what can you do? heh. how can you be a smart idiot? i'm tempted to say go to ground zero of an outbreak. see if you can contract the disease and die. or survive and get inoculated the expensive painful hard way. but that is a bit rude. even for me. so in all honesty... first, don't leave the country. not even to go to someplace safe like europe. second, don't socialize with un-vaccinated people. third, don't socialize with babies or members of families with babies. fourth, accept the financial responsibility for your medical irresponsibility. a measles outbreak costs some $5,000 per un-vaccinated person.  ¶ 8:00 AM
