Remember back in the 90s when an Italian court ruled that women in jeans couldn't be raped because jeans required assistance from the person wearing them to get them off, which equaled consent?? (They repealed it later, but still. Not top-bar over there in Italy. Except when it comes to shoes. DAMN their shoes are awesome.)
Look guys - this is fine. No more vaccines for Italy, okay? Their economy is in the shitter right now and the people whose children die off from polio, Chicken pox, Hep, etc would only have been more of a drag on the economy. Let's be adults here.
People who don't want to vaccinate their children, fine - don't vaccinate. However we have some children with actual illnesses who depend upon herd immunity to live. They cannot get the vaccine, because it will kill them. (Kids with AIDS, kids with leukemia, kids who climb on rocks... and are allergic to eggs.) They depend on the herd to be vaccinated against the vaccine because their kids could actually fucking die. Just because you're terrified your kid might be slow, or need to work harder to learn, or be somewhere on the autism spectrum isn't a reason to endanger them.
A dead kid means less to you than a handicapped kid. We get it. Because then the dead kid isn't your kid. That's fine. But understand that the rest of the herd sees you and your children as possible disease arks, and no one wants to hang out with you. Keep your potential plague carriers away from everyone else and don't be pissy about it.
We won't give you are hard time about potentially killing your kids, so don't give us a hard time about keeping our kids healthy. Good for the courts in Italy and the people studying the effects of vaccines. There is no such thing as a perfect drug, and if hundreds need to die so that several dozen don't have to attend special school, so be it. I'm sure this will spawn another round of people not immunizing their children, but it will be in Europe where all those already unvaccinated immigrants are swarming in with diseases that the rest of us all but eradicated almost a century ago. It's fine, guys. Europe knows what it is doing.

You do realize text cant convey intent, especially when you end it with "Let's be adults here". If you had no point but to be sarcastic why did you contribute at all? That type of thing is best left on reddit.
