"Could the Disneyland measles outbreak quiet vaccine doubters?" ...we could only be so lucky. :/ http://www.latimes.com/opinion/opinion-la/la-ol-disneyland-measles-vaccination-readers-react-20150120-story.html … (But no, it won't.)

@OtherSociology I find that I'm ok w this when faced with the threat of my own, or my relatives, deaths.
@rocza White people who don't vaccinate would get off as they do for other crimes b/c criminal justice system favours them. This is not ok

@OtherSociology I don't think that "imperfect system so just allow folks to kill others" is ok. -
@OtherSociology I'd rather tackle multiple issues than throw up hands & say "oh well, white people will just always get off so nevermind" -
@OtherSociology Yes, there is inequality & injustice. I'd like to see that fixed. I'd also like to not die while working to get that fixed. -
@OtherSociology I'd like family members who are lawyers and doctors working in these underprivileged communities to not die, too. -
@OtherSociology & unfortunately, there are a lot of medical contraindications to vaccinations in my extended family, so it's not theory -
@OtherSociology & I don't know what the breakdown in adherence in Oz is, but in US, it's become a largely wealthy white thing -
@rocza Prison system in USA & Australia are racist. It hasn't worked on drugs, sex work & other health problems. Why would it work for this? -
@OtherSociology b/c at least in the US, anti-vax tends to be a position of privilege, and not a minority community issue? - 1 more reply
