The fifty percent who haven't been inoculated are the same fifty who
complain and blame the goverment when there children die or are very ill
in the next serious epidemic of whatever disease they are unlucky
enought to contract. These parents should have to sign a warrent and
have it framed in the family home. You could call it a death warrent,
maybe make it out of brass and then later you could screw it to the
coffin lid.
A little emotional, you bet.
