Withholding measles vaccine from children is child abuse and potentially murder.

From what I've read, it's not even as though the Mennonite Order oppose vaccination, it's just a general sense of individual distrust that never got addressed by community outreach.
This feels like something public health efforts could address.

Yes. Sorry, should have made that clear. It’s a problem, though, when folks want to pick and choose what parts of community they participate in, for whatever reason.

Quick reminder that Gaines County is a Mennonite community, where ~1 in 5 residents are Old Order Mennonite. Still problematic, but with different reasons than most for not vaxxing.

82% vax rate for kindergarten kids in the county where this outbreak is centered. Madness.

At what point is it child abuse? We know what happens if you leave your kid in a hot car. We know what happens if kids get measles.
Subjecting your kids to measles because the right wing told you “vaccines are evil” is cruel and potentially deadly.
