Forty states saw rises in parents citing religious or other personal concerns for not vaccinating their young children.
The number of kids whose caregivers are opting them out of routine childhood vaccines has reached an all-time high, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday, potentially leaving hundreds of thousands of children unprotected against preventable diseases like measles and whooping cough.
The report did not dive into the reasons for the increase, but experts said the findings clearly reflect Americans’ growing unease about medicine in general.
“There is a rising distrust in the health care system,” said Dr. Amna Husain, a pediatrician in private practice in North Carolina, as well as a spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics. Vaccine exemptions “have unfortunately trended upward with it.”
Exactly, vaccines are why a lot of otherwise stupid people are able to survive. Bet you’re the kind of person who also has fascinating theories about evolution “culling the weak.” I hope you don’t have any dependents who are forced to rely on you.
Evolution isn’t enough, humans are pretty fucking retarded species that will never evolve to anything great because luddites keep fighting against eugenics.
There it is.
Indeed, the opinion you didn’t want to hear after probing for it is here. Have you tried not asking if answers will hurt you as usual?
