Oh come on Snowstalker, this is dumb even by your standards.
honestly i agree with him in this case. refusing to vaccinate your children definitely falls under the umbrella of child abuse.
Look, I'm not saying that's the right thing to do, but it's not like every child who doesn't get vaccinated is going to catch smallpox and die. As long as it's only 2-5% of the population that asks for exemption, it's really a non-issue and certainly doesn't warrant this hyperbolic language.
The issue is also that anti-vaxxers tend to be a certain demographic profile (white granola liberals mostly) and those people tend to congregate in the same sorts of places. Which means that that 2-5% is concentrated.
Why do you assume that most anti-vaxxers are liberals?
