I'd agree with you if it weren't for children and immunocompromised people. It's a shame it can't be only adult antivaxxers who die in outbreaks like this

As a person on a medication that has side effects that make me somewhat immunocompromised, I understand what you’re saying, and nominally agree - but at this point, they’re not going to fucking stop. If that end of the gene pool decides they want to make it even shallower, I can’t do shit about it, so I might as well hope for a silver lining.
