MEASLES: Spreading unnecessarily

A virus that was nearly eradicated is back with a vengeance.

Ya, OK, I get it. As a parent I get it. You think your child is safer without being vaccinated.

You feel safe. Well guess what. You feel safe but I don’t. You’re putting my grandchildren at risk.

You want to be able to have your child go to school and be part of society without doing what society requires you to do.

That’s fine too. Nothing wrong with that, right?

You aren’t just taking your child to school, though. You’re taking them to friends’ and families’ homes, grocery stores, restaurants. Your car and others’ cars, maybe even a taxi.

All because you feel vaccinations are bad.

This is not only dangerous; it’s reckless and selfish!

(You do tell people your child isn’t vaccinated, yes?)

Your actions and others who do this are NOT helping society as a whole.

If your children aren’t vaccinated, then keep them away from other people, especially other children.
