re: #93 NO SMOCKING GUN!

In Ameristan in the near future, vaccines will be illegal, and all the diseases conquered in the 20th century will rage through the nation and kill or cripple a lot of kids. But FREEEDUMB!!1!!1!1

Fortunately, there are a lot of Mexican-born children in El Paso so Mexico’s stringent vaccination program will help with herd immunity. The Mexican public health services don’t mess around. They don’t accept religious objections and they wouldn’t consider woo-woo bullshit a religion even if they did. This article from 2002 describes what it is like:
Mexico bests U.S. in vaccinations

MONTERREY, Mexico — If parents here are late getting their child inoculated, a public health nurse will come to their home, pull down the youngster’s pants and give the vaccination right there in the living room.

If mom and dad are away at work, the nurse does not wait for them to come home and give permission. The shots are given anyway, and the paperwork is left with the baby sitter.

In Monterrey, like Houston an industrial city of more than a million with large pockets of underclass, the government divides its poor neighborhoods into sections of about four square blocks each, then puts a nurse in charge of supervising parents in each area to ensure all of the children are vaccinated on time.
