#2How the fuck is this even news?
Of the oh so many things ordered from Amazon maybe half have a personal note from a seller asking for reviews, positive, of course.
I personally know at least one picker in a warehouse and the social scene is a shit show of weirdos with politics to match. Many books aren’t shrink wrapped so obviously this is possible. As is true for any book store or library across the entire world.
What’s the idea here? Shame on... what? Shame on... who? Am I supposed to be shocked at this headline?

#3Perhaps some lawyers here can opine:
Is it not possible for some of those affected by the recent measles outbreak, and others adversely impacted, to file a class action against the anti-vaxxers ?
Call me paranoid, but lately I've been thinking about getting the MMR as an adult who is in mid 40s - and I'm pissed. So, I can't even imagine what someone who is directly impacted might be feeling.

Aren't you only affected by the measles outbreak if you're an anti-vax in the first place... ?

#5a perfect opportunity to start a conversation with her coming-of-age son about critical thinking and how to make informed decisions. ignorant ideas and opinions are everywhere. the best defense is being capable of logical reasoning.
it's also important that we are exposed and open to ideas that challenge our beliefs. wisdom begins in doubt.

There are other circumstances in which you might not have had the vaccination, such as when undergoing chemotherapy. In those cases, herd immunity would provide protection for those who can't be get the vaccination themselves.

No, some people are immunocompromised, or can't get vaccinated (because they are newborns).

Children receive the MMR at 12 months of age, and the immunity they got from mom may lapse before then. There are also others who are unable to receive regular vaccinations for health reasons.

no. young children who have yet to be vaccinated and others who have developing or compromised immune systems are at risk.
