The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Acronyms and shortened forms are often a problem, they soften, sanitise and take on new meaning. For instance UKIP was the United Kingdom Independence Party. Which sounds mad the more you say it. But nobody did. Say the whole thing, make people say the whole thing.
