Anti-Vaxxers need to be imprisoned or deported. They are a direct threat to national security
doesn't SC have a mandatory vaccination program for things like measles, polio etc. I'm asking because I don't know. Seems incredibly dumb for a parent not to get the proven, basic vaccines for their kids

I think you're making a mountain out of a mole hill.
  • RFK Jr endorsed MMR vaccines.
  • People who have had measles or who have been vaccinated are protected.
  • I believe that every state in the nation requires MMR vaccination.
  • There have been 3 deaths which is sad but statistically insignificant.

South Carolina requires two doses of the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine for students to enter kindergarten through 12th grade.

Wrong, it's no surprise these outbreaks keep happening in red states now that its become fashionable to demonize vaccines by maga inbreds.

"As of September 30, 2025, there have been a total of 1,544 confirmed measles cases reported across 41 states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There have been more than 40 outbreaks reported in 2025, and 86% of confirmed cases (1,333 of 1,544) are outbreak-associated.

Cases of Measles in South Carolina in 2025
In July, South Carolina had two confirmed cases of measles. The first reported case was associated with exposure while traveling. The second case was a known close contact of the first case. Earlier in September, South Carolina had one confirmed case of measles also associated with exposure while traveling and was unrelated to the July cases. The current outbreak in the Upstate involves two cases with no history of travel or identified source of exposure. Subsequent spread to close contacts of these cases occurred marking five new cases, making a total of eight cases of measles in South Carolina in 2025 to date. The outbreak has no known connection with the previous three cases."


"Vaccination rates both inside and outside of school have declined in recent years, according to health department data. Inside schools, the number of students who received all their vaccines, including one protecting against measles, mumps and rubella, dropped from 98% a decade ago to just under 94% during the 2024-2025 school year, according to health department data."

you know, thinking about it, the government has a real dilemma. On the one hand most reasonable people believe that the basic vaccinations are effective and should be mandated. On the other is the my body my choice group who want to make their own decisions..and these decision - not to take the vaccines - affect other people.

If you don't mandate these vaccinations a lot of people won't get them.

One thing is sure, the government is going to be demonized either way it leans

true, but best to err on the side of public safety. I always said, in my working days, when you make a decision, 50% of people think you're a genius and 50% wonder how you were smart enough to get your pants on. So, might as well make the decision based on what you think is right....kind of like opinions on this board :)
