The true cost of anti-vaccination campaigners and conspiracy theorists.

"Measles could have been eradicated in New Zealand by now if it were not for anti-vaccine campaigners and conspiracy theorists, public health experts say."

This article appeared this morning and really highlights the dangers of anti-vaccination groups. And these people wonder why I get so angry at them?

Quote:

two more cases of measles are diagnosed in Auckland, adding to about 30 cases nationwide since December. preventable outbreaks include 274 cases of whooping cough in Auckland in 2012, and 328 in the West Coast that same year. Also highlighted are hundreds of measles of cases nationwide since 2008.

I hope you anti-vaccination fear mungers realise that every child who dies or is left permanently damaged by preventable illnesses, their death is on your hands.
