MORE ON MEASLES: "The Centers for Disease Control reports a surge in measles outbreaks; almost all the cases are in children who never received the routine shots for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR). Vanquished diseases are rebounding thanks to growing--but groundless--fears over the safety of traditional vaccines. Driven by those fears, ever more parents are finding a way to forgo shots for their children--even though shots are required in most of the nation. And some politicians are encouraging them. A proposed New York law, sponsored by Suffolk County Assemblyman Marc Alessi, would establish a 'philosophical' exemption to mandatory childhood vaccinations."
I'll buy it, if I they'll indulge my "philosophical" objections to taxes and speed limits.
