     @arstechnica Did this article need to include an image of a nearly nude child?

     @arstechnica When I grew up doctors said, you need vaccination, time for your vaccination!, and we said ‘Garsh! Yup! Of course, doc, stick me!

     Today In deep red America, clinicians are afraid to bring up the topic, as it might raise controversy, or worse, they believe the conspiracy angles themselves.

     @arstechnica @lisamelton we need to start charging those anti-vaxxer as being accessories to murder and reckless endangerment.

     I am also heavily in favor of a federal mandate to be vaccinated, which means making them free (which isn’t a problem, every study says that it is one of the best investments a society can make, which easily pays for itself many times over.)

     Finally, we need federal mandates governing indoor airflow management, to reduce spread and increase productivity.
