      Although I like the sentiment behind this move, I really don't see how, practically, it's enforceable.https://twitter.com/ksenapathy/status/1112770244567818240 …

      Impossible to enforce and also a bit Big Brothery, even though I love the idea in the abstract. But in practice? Is this even constitutional? I can't believe it's come to this. These people with their horrible, anti-science ideas. Awful.

      It is a good way to illustrate antivaxer lies, though. They frequently say that they support quarantine in the event of outbreaks; yet they go crazy if anything resembling quarantine is every actually applied to them.

          A lot of people have a lot of nutty ideas. I'm sure I have some. But the anti-vax stuff is so damn bizarre that I honestly don't know what to make of it. These people are putting their children's lives -- as well as other people's lives -- at risk, and don't understand or care.

          And it's not even like they believe God told them not to do it! Instead it's just a silly, baseless fear that I sometimes wonder if they honestly believe. I think perhaps many folks don't really understand, but they've committed themselves and refuse to back down.
