I’m not sure why anyone would trust any goddamned thing Nedra Fucking Pickler has to say about anything, ever.
Go read her wkiipedia page, she’s a frickin’ hack.
Is TPM attempting to help rehabilitate her after her horrorshow of a career of Republican dick licking during George the lesser’s administration?

Maybe the measles argument needs to be remade. The don’t vaccinate thing is basically happening because people have forgotten (never knew) what measles was like or why the entire vaccine regimen is what it is.
Parents should vaccinate their kids, full stop. Idiots with foolish ideas should never be listened to, end there too.

Putting aside for the moment the irresponsibility of the parents who refuse to vaccinate their children…doesn’t this whole problem eventually correct itself? That is, under the cold calculus of disease transmission, the children who don’t get vaccinated are the ones most likely to suffer and die from measles. I’m not sure there’s a more convincing argument to a parent for getting a child vaccinated then seeing that not doing so results in their child’s suffering and death from the very disease that the vaccine protects against. If that doesn’t do it, what would?
