thewayneHe also proposes banning them from day care to protect kids too young or unable to be vaccinated.
I can get behind that. Germany is also having problems with a measles outbreak, and they're fining anti-vaxxer parents in New York, but only up to $1,000, not the almost $2,800 being proposed in Germany. The law proposed requires a certificate showing the child has been vaccinated or has had measles. In addition, daycare centers can be fined for admitting children who have not provided proof of vaccination! However, the government is not throwing legislation out without funding: they're putting €5mil annually out there for vaccinations, which can be provided by most doctors and specialists.
Germany had 500 cases of measles in 2018 and has 300 thus far this year.
This was a concern for my wife and I when we did our river cruise from Prague to Berlin because we knew there were live measles in Europe, but it wasn't nearly the problem then in 2015 that it is now.

ROFL!

(Non-compliant parents can get themselves off the absolute shit list by presenting proof of vaccinating their children. But the grifters burn.)
I have no patience with this "oh, maybe a fine" nonsense.

I don't like Joe. I like Mayor Pete, we'll see how he develops. I need to learn more about Kamela and a couple of the others.
