Texas this year has been the center of the nation’s largest measles outbreak in more than two decades, as a mostly eradicated disease has sickened more than 700 in the state, sent dozens to hospitals and led to the death of two children who were unvaccinated.
But even as the outbreak slows, a bill approved by state lawmakers and sent to Republican Gov. Greg Abbott would make it significantly easier for parents to enroll their children in school without standard vaccinations for diseases such as measles, whooping cough, polio and hepatitis A and B.
Supporters say the bill streamlines an already legal exemption process that allows families to avoid vaccines for reasons of conscience, religious beliefs or medical reasons. It would let them download the required forms from a website instead of contacting state health officials and waiting for one to come in the mail.
Kids are going to die because of this stupid shit.
And the parents will find a way to dissuade themselves of any blame.
It’s a real tragedy, no one saw it coming. He got sick with measles, I thought those were animals. Then the doctor finds out and they wanna shoot some more science juice up in my baby and I tell him where he can shove it, he ain’t hurting my precious baby. Anyways, I brought him home and he died.
Kids are dying because of this stupid shit*
According to an interview I read, the parents said out of the seven kids they have, only one died. They said it was no big deal.
