Op-Ed: Los Angeles led the nation on measles vaccination mandates. Can it do that for COVID? (via latimesopinion)
and discuss on Tuesday delaying the mandate to fall 2022. About 34,000 kids — roughly 15% — have yet to show proof of vaccination. To provide those children with teachers for online learning would have deprived vaccinated kids at some schools of proper instruction, and “that wouldn’t have been fair,” said school board member Jackie Goldberg.
In earlier decades, vaccination rates were low in Los Angeles for two reasons: Lower-income people couldn’t afford or get access to vaccines, and many people were indifferent to the risks of measles, considering the disease a normal part of childhood. But there was little ideological opposition. Well into the 1990s, onlyof children in California were exempted from the vaccine requirements because their parents opposed or mistrusted vaccination.
Today, the use of social media by anti-vaccine activists has revealed the vulnerability of the vaccination effort. Public health departments areof vitriol and violence. And fighting endemic infectious diseases has never been easy.
