VACCINES: Paying for bad judgment

It is irresponsible and reprehensible so many moms refuse immunizations for their innocent children. Do these parents realize when their children grow up and join the military or most public positions they will be immunized? Does any health insurer with half a brain insure these sponging-Barbies who need Medicaid for the epidemic medical bill too?

Very shortsighted, misinformed thinking.

But the big issue is always who pays for any poor judgment?

If our schools are at risk and taxpayers are expected to pay the bill for the next measles, mumps, polio or rubella epidemic then refusing a vaccination needs to have these geniuses who think they’re more expert than medical professional experts pay the full cost of such willful ignorance. Not Medicaid.

Like it or not, California has just enacted a law outlawing most, if not all, of all conscientious objector’s children in public schools.

They had Disneyland for their outbreak. We have Silverwood for the next one!
