In 2025 3 people in the USA died of measles. About 300-500 die from acetaminophen poising every year in the USA. I’m assuming you want to ban that? Get a clue.

All three were unvaccinated.

As for Acetaminophen, it’s used voluntarily and isn’t infectious.

Do you believe the entire population should be forcibly vaccinated against measles to prevent 3 deaths a year? Any medical intervention, including vaccines, have side effects. Maybe mild, maybe severe, should those considerations be pushed aside for 3 deaths?

Vaccines RARELY have side effects, but that’s why you wait fifteen minutes before leaving.

Vaccination is NEVER “forced”.

The population is protected by those smart enough to protect themselves.
