Summary
A measles outbreak in West Texas has infected nearly 200 people, mostly unvaccinated Mennonite families in Gaines County, where vaccine exemptions are among the state’s highest.
Dr. Ben Edwards, a vaccine skeptic, treats patients with cod-liver oil and nutrition advice instead of standard medical care.
Two people have died, and 23 have been hospitalized. The CDC is engaging with the community, but anti-vaccine sentiment remains strong.
Health officials warn the outbreak could spread, while local leaders insist families are making personal choices about vaccination.
Careful with that. The us doesn’t have the best track record for forced medical anything.

I’m fine with personal choice but there should also exist quarantines and consequences for those choices. That’s the part we’re missing now.
I didn’t think I said anything about forced vaccination.
The point I was trying to make was more that vaccination should be considered a precondition for involvement in civilised society. If you don’t want a vaccine, fine, but feel free to go live a self-sustaining, off-grid lifestyle.
Perhaps my point was poorly made.
