You can thank a growing class of ignorant selfish brats for the growing trend of once-eradicated diseases now coming back into the public arena. Like the recent measles outbreak that is claiming the lives of kids globally - parents too selfish and stupid to get their kids the very basic vaccinations that they require.
Personally I think it's monstrous that people would ever abuse their kids just to make some kind of asinine and misguided political point. The world can't afford to have people around who are that callous, selfish, irresponsible, and unable to care about anything beyond their own noses.
