Marin County = rich, liberal. In 2012 it went 74% for Obama. ND-Dem Jan 2015 #18

I really like Marin. Especially in the fall and upaloopa Jan 2015 #76

yeah, those rich people in marin county are really stupid and uneducated. ND-Dem Jan 2015 #17

Rich does not equal smart Blecht Jan 2015 #19

It's associated with schooling, however. Typically the rich have more higher education than the ND-Dem Jan 2015 #20

And if intelligence tests actually measured intelligence, you might have a point. jeff47 Jan 2015 #22

high scores on intelligence tests, like high income, is associated with more education though. ND-Dem Jan 2015 #28

But it doesn't mean "smart" Jakes Progress Jan 2015 #31

More letters after one's name does not mean they're smarter. jeff47 Jan 2015 #39

The fact that they are anti-vaxxers makes them uneducated troglodytes/scientific illiterates joeglow3 Jan 2015 #44

The Hobby Lobby case made these bullshit conscience exemptions possible bluestateguy Jan 2015 #7

This was the case way before Hobby Lobby XemaSab Jan 2015 #9

There are several cases in Fresno now as well. onecaliberal Jan 2015 #8

Sounds good to me. Starry Messenger Jan 2015 #10

I totally agree with that poor father. SunSeeker Jan 2015 #14

This is a dire situation for that child. Got a couple of questions: freshwest Jan 2015 #15

No. jeff47 Jan 2015 #23

Or put the whole family in stockades and have sick people Ykcutnek Jan 2015 #27

I do sincerely hope you're kidding with this. NuclearDem Jan 2015 #37

I am from Bay Area marlakay Jan 2015 #33

Why not just keep the kid home. dilby Jan 2015 #34

That would be safest. Too many variables that this won't solve. freshwest Jan 2015 #38

Yeah, I would just keep the kid home till he can be vaccinated. dilby Jan 2015 #43

Requires a parent who can stay home with the kid. Also known as "money". jeff47 Jan 2015 #40

They figured it out for the first 5 years of his life. dilby Jan 2015 #42

And? jeff47 Jan 2015 #46

Article says kid can't get vaccinated for a couple months. dilby Jan 2015 #48

A couple months at the earliest. He may never get vaccinated. (nt) jeff47 Jan 2015 #49

If he never gets vaccinated it's because his parents are drinking the same coolaid dilby Jan 2015 #52

He may not get his immune system back. jeff47 Jan 2015 #54

So his doctor is lying by saying he can get it in a couple months? dilby Jan 2015 #60

His doctor is saying he may get it in a couple months, but that will depend on test results. jeff47 Jan 2015 #61

The anti-vaxxers are not going away, ever. dilby Jan 2015 #63

Except the reasons you cite are wrong. jeff47 Jan 2015 #65

Then my kid gets sick. dilby Jan 2015 #66

And if they die, you gonna still have better things to do? jeff47 Jan 2015 #68

That was my first thought. Just home-school him until he's able to take the shots. BlueJazz Jan 2015 #41

I am guessing dad has a crusade now. dilby Jan 2015 #45

He may never be able to take the shots. jeff47 Jan 2015 #47

His child should not be in school. With all due respect, I believe you and many others forget that.. BlueJazz Jan 2015 #53

Those invaders are also required to be vaccinated jeff47 Jan 2015 #55

You're certainly welcome to think that. Anti-vaxxers are the uninformed and the father wants.. BlueJazz Jan 2015 #69

Again, those shots are required by all those others. jeff47 Jan 2015 #70

jeff47 Please quit saying "Teachers are required to be vaccinated" I KNOW that. BlueJazz Jan 2015 #73

It isn't his family's fault a bunch of idiots refuse to vaccinate their kids. NuclearDem Jan 2015 #62
