    In a sane country, that would be enough for CPS to take action.

    These people are intentionally risking their children’s lives. Because autism.

    Edit: Also, on Sunday’s last week tonight, Jon Oliver said RFK, Jr. has been offered a position in Trump’s cabinet as HHS secretary. How terrifying is that?

        Many people have also been convinced, through huge, well-funded organizations like Autism Speaks, that autism is a fate worse than death for a child. So it’s not entirely their fault. But they still should not be allowed to get away with it since vaccines are not related to autism.

      Their child’s life, but also the lives of others in their community. Many of these diseases rely on herd immunity to protect those with compromised immune systems (and even “healthy” people to a degree). Not to mention the harm done by creating a larger stigma around autism.

      CPS works real fast on poor families from cities. I refuse to believe they couldn’t start taking unvaxed kids, they just don’t want to for whatever reason. Probably they don’t want to appear political but I don’t think appearing unpolitical is going to save any lives so, sorry kids.
