Wonder why the US locks up far more of its citizens than any other country in the world? Consider that even Americans who understand the dangers of ignorance often favor using the carceral state to punish people and lock them in cages. The solution to ignorance is NOT violence.https://twitter.com/sarahmei/status/1093754045070626816 …

Education hasn’t worked. What’s your solution?

Simple: require proof of vaccination for ANY activity or institution where there are other kids present. If they don't want to vaccinate their kids, they'll have to enroll them in private schools full of nothing but other unvaccinated kids.

Just because people are stupid & willfully ignorant doesn't excuse destroying kids' lives with foster care & bloating the prison industry (not to mention giving pigs YET ANOTHER excuse for intruding into people's lives). Any disease the kids get from being unprotected is...

Have you missed the death toll from the American love for using the fucking pigs to solve every goddamned problem? No solution is perfect. Non-carceral solutions are always preferable except in cases of serious violent criminality, which is about 5% of US "crime".

Ah, so I guess we’re off the separate schools idea since innocent people still die. So it’s ghettos then, in your recommendation? Or are you saying you prefer babies die and adults go blind and get permanent scarring, rather than using the legal system here?

Ah, so I guess we are going to pretend state violence at the hands of cops is better than random diseases. Or are you saying you are glad that cops commit rape & DV at 2-3 times the rate of other men, and that 1 in 3 Americans killed by strangers die at the hands of cops?
