Unfortunately not, 3 other children, 2 of which already got measles a week or two prior to the one in the article. 🙄

Source: the article

Measles is incredibly infectious. Once it hits a household, everyone will be infected.

Mom is fine because she got MMR vaccine.

Already read the article. She's too damned braindead to understand the importance of a good vaccination program, so her children will likely not spread her genes downline

Measles is not normally a fatal disease. And anti-vax sentiment isn't hereditary.

1% of measles infected get viral encephalitis like this kid, and blindness. Permanent brain damage.

But indoctrination is still going to work if they live longer.

So we fine now sacrificing innocent children to punish parents?

Who said that? I said it's unfortunate that she's not being removed from the gene pool, because she has 3 more kids. Are you implying that I think we should kill her remaining kids to stop the bloodline? I'm both offended, and confused as to how you came to that conclusion.

Being sad that people like her will procreate doesn't mean all her children should die. I'm honestly trying to figure out how your logic ended up here but fuck man, I just can't.
