Problem with measles, they may have "snipped" their children. At least the males.

Antivaxxers don't have any particular association with circumcision I'm aware of, if that's what you're getting at

No, a side effect of measles for boys is that it can result in infertility. I meant "snipped" as in sterilized. Their stupidity could prevent their kids from reproducing. Wait: I think I'm getting it mixed with mumps. Yeah, I was. Mumps, a disease vaxxed against alongside measles, can cause male infertility.

Measles makes prior immunity to other viruses get wiped out. So, even if they got vaccinated for anything else, poof, all gone.

I mean there's a lot of answers to this problem. Take their kids away. let the kids die. If they learn their lesson the next kids won't be in danger, if they don't then let more kids die or take more kids away.

I read this as “snipe”
I’ll get hatred for saying it, but I’m fine either way.
