Italy Makes the Mindless Seflishness of Anti-Vaxxers Illegal

Parents in Italy will now have to ensure that their children are vaccinated up to the age of six against a number of infectious diseases or face a ban from school, as the government approves a law following a drop-off in inoculations and a measles outbreak.

While American anti-vaxxers consider it a right to send their disease vectors into public circulation to infect other children, Italians won't put up with it.


The Italian cabinet has made it compulsory for parents to immunize children to be eligible to attend pre-school nurseries, with the number of required vaccinations rising from four to 12. Parents flouting the rule will face hefty fines, said to be up to 30 times the current ones of some 150-250 euros, according to local media, citing Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni.

"Without vaccinations, there can be no entry into schools from ages 0-6," Gentiloni said, as cited by Italy’s ANSA news agency.

Italians won't cater to ignorance but rather will fine it heavily and hear, hear.


With the health minister calling it "an emergency generated by fake news," the blame for the epidemic has been placed on the growing anti-vaccination movement, believed to be fueled by the anti-establishment Five Star Movement. The party’s leader, Beppe Grillo, had previously come under fire for his controversial statements about the possible side-effects from vaccines.

There is no controversy in anti-vaxx; it's throwing out the protections we have devised for highly social creatures.  Those who opt away from such protections are clearly not highly social creatures and cannot safely be allowed to mingle with those who are due to the threat of disease from them.

It was one thing when they were only carriers for stupidity but now they're packing every other disease as well.

It's only going to take one outbreak of something really virulent before anti-vaxxers are shot on sight for the selfish mad dogs they really are.
