Canada just lost its measles-free status. So here’s the question..

If an unvaccinated child spreads measles to someone else’s kid, why shouldn’t the parents be liable in small-claims court?

I’m not talking about criminal charges, just basic responsibility. If your choice creates the risk you should have to prove you weren’t the reason someone else’s child got sick.

Is that unreasonable?

Should they, yes, will they, not in the west.

Felony murder, in my opinion.

We're dangerously close to "it's illegal to be contagious".

If there is no disease there is no contagious.

this is the disturbing reality of the current attitude. People have no idea how important body sovereignty is.

It opens some weird ideas to the game. If you are unvaccinated, yet previously had the illness and recovered, do you need a vaccine. What if you've been vaccinated and still spread it. What if you can't have the vaccines because if of health conditions. Anger does not fix the problem. We need a compromise, not a rule.
