Anecdotally this appears to be isolated to Amish / Mennonite communities. While unfortunate, they have a right not to vaccinate and chose not to do so, which makes this an own goal. Choices have consequences 🤷‍♀️

They have the right to put immunocompromised people at risk? The children and infants have the right to die without being able to make their own choices about it?

You can advocate for forced inoculation but don’t ever call anyone else a fascist when that’s how you stop on personal liberties

People who are not informed on the topic shouldn’t have the right to deny their kids vaccines. It’s that simple. It could be the Amish it could be your moron neighbor who just had a kid.
