I have been reading about this for some time, and know from experience in NYC that there are a ton of weirdo lefty upper middle class parents who won’t let their kids be vaccinated against the common childhood diseases (which are killers, btw). California, however, appears to have the highest number of middle class or above parents who won’t let their children be vaccinated, and apparently a lot of home-schoolers believe it’s a government plot as well.
Actually, there was an article in the WSJ on Wednesday, I think it was, showing the plunge in US vaccination rates and the fact that the US is now way down on the list of countries protected against common childhood diseases. It’s the only place where the very preventable but very dangerous whooping cough has been on the rise.
What you say could well be the case, but that doesn’t make it a leap of logic to think that it could also just as well be the illegal Hispanic kids. They are ones getting an exemption in many public schools from having vaccination records, not the legal children of lefties, and any lefty parents who are that concerned about their kids’ health aren’t as likely to be the ones sending their kids to public schools to spread disease.
And you are aware that now Hispanics comprise the majority of the students in California public schools?
And then so, we have an epidemic in NYC? Or did they all move to Colorado?
That is interesting, because it seems counterintuitive.
This makes me wonder whether there’s some coordination between the campaign on the one hand to force unscreened, unquarantined, diseased illegal alien children into our country, and the campaign on the other hand to discourage the use of vaccines, and finally, the failure of the CDC (funded by our tax dollars) to report on any of this.
