Texas, close vaccine loophole before it gets bigger [Editorial]

The anti-vaccination movement in Texas is putting the health of children in jeopardy.

It’s not enough that the health of thousands of children attending Texas’ public schools has been compromised by the grossly misguided anti-immunization movement.

Now, an anti-vaccine group is targeting the littlest kids who aren’t even public school age.

Texans for Vaccine Choice says it wants to help children who were denied admission into private child care facilities because they were not immunized against childhood diseases. The organization believes the right of parents to decide what, if any, medications their children receive trumps other parents’ right to protect their children’s health. Following that logic, parents who think their children need guns to be safe should be allowed to put Glocks in little Susie’s or Johnny’s backpack.
