Canada, Germany, Spain n other countries have laid the law down. We should, too. No vax..no restaurant, no theatre, no nothing..just shunned. No health insurance, no reason to have others pay for their non compliance to society. Id be happy with that.

Anti vaccine folks have a screw loose upstairs and its killing many of them.
