As a result, parents have linked "vaccine choice" to the traditional way Texans view themselves, as valuing "freedom over safety" as the "Texas way." Politicians have noticed. 5/ https://respectfulinsolence.com/2017/07/13/more-on-the-politicization-of-school-vaccine-mandates/ … 5/

But back to the story I started with. As is often the case, the child traveled with his parents overseas and came back with the measles.
