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?
Yeah, I’m gonna go out on what feels like a very sturdy limb here and say that herd immunity wouldn’t be compromised if everyone who could did, and everyone who can’t didn’t.
And I’m pretty sure that we are:
A) not referring to this demographic in our thread
B) in general, ok with legit medical exemptions, see above for why.
