The area I grew up now up there with freak filled places like CA and Pacific Northwest with outbreaks of preventable diseases. In this case, the insular Ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities is the disease nexus. There is no religious objection to vaccines.

I wonder how many illegals are there?

There is no religious objection to vaccines.

My mother lodged a religious objection to the mumps vaccine because we are Catholic and aborted human fetal tissue is used to produce it. The State was forced to agree and none of us ever got the vaccine.

What are they going to do? Ask for school or pediatrician immunity cards? Call ICE?

Hahahah.

[Wallace T.]

Whether the unvaccinated are neo-hippies, ultra orthodox Jews, survivalists, or illegal aliens, how do they pose a threat to those who are vaccinated? An MMR vaccine, if it is 99% effective, should protect the recipients thereof. I am not sufficiently knowledgeable of Hasidic teachings, but if their interpretation of Jewish scriptures prohibits vaccination, then forcing them, or Amish or other religious groups, to take vaccines violates the First Amendment.

So 100 people with a communicable disease is an emergency, but 50,000 looking to break into your country with the promise of 50 times that number isn’t. Got it.

[DJ MacWoW]

So liberals have found a golden trigger to set conservatives at one another's throats and protect their chosen group, illegals.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

See, THIS part is what I oppose. Unless the place is taking taxpayer funds, it should be able to make its own rules.

(Cue the folks who think that therefore, I obviously want everybody to die.)
