22 children and two adults had been infected, all of whom were unvaccinated [...] the cases had been concentrated in a “more insular” community in the county, among people who attend church and private schools together. Many of the children are also home-schooled
After how groups like these actively spread covid, I'm really struggling to find any sympathy for them.
- Problem is that no vaccine is 100% effective, so groups which don't vaccinate result in the virus circulating, and pose a very real risk to those of us who do vaccinate
  
  I'm aware of this. My entire family died because of covidiots. My apathy toward these people is immense.
- Poor children, though.

Measles ? fucking measles ? vaccine is mandatory here in france,.... and I assumed the rest of the world
Looked it up and it's veen mandatory since jan 1st 2018.... assumed it had been for longer... anyway https://www.futura-sciences.com/sante/questions-reponses/vaccin-depuis-vaccin-rougeole-il-obligatoire-45/
- Us Americans love the right to kill ourselves and others with nearly eradicated diseases!
  
  damn it really is the prophecized land of the free

I see Gaines County mentioned a bunch and that they are setting up a vaccination clinic in Seminole, but the article doesn't name the town? Or did I somehow miss it?
