In the not too distant future, one can envision a society where inoculation is no longer voluntary, as the risk of epidemics outweigh all other risks.

The statistics are so sad. America had 80,000 people die from flu alone in the US last year including almost 200 children. Approx 500 from measles... all preventable.
We have a crazy anti-vaxxer on here that posts random nonsense and claims AIDS in Africa come from malnutrition.

@Gurahl I love when non-medical people start googling. Flu not being close to being preventable is an ignorant statement to say the least. There are thousands of flu strains, the CDC makes an educated guess based on study ( research and global trends). They narrow it down.. is it perfect, nothing is. Does it prevent thousands of deaths, unquestionably!
I guess kids dying off from diseases is no different that being shot with the almighty guns.
