A recent letter suggests discrimination and segregation of school children based on whether or not they’ve received the vaccination (“Anti-vax propaganda puts community at risk,” Star-Advertiser, April 14). Somehow the writer believes that a child who has been inoculated against certain diseases are at dire risk of getting those diseases from an unvaccinated child. If that were true, then the vaccination would be worthless.
This knee-jerk hysteria needs to stop because it demonizes the people who cannot or choose not to receive a vaccine due to personal reasons.
