I suspect that’s an effect of the under-education of our country. A more functional education system would probably produce fewer proudly ignorant people.
Stiff penalties for not vaccinating, and a local and state government less corrupt that is able to provide enforcement and better assistance.
I don’t get the education angle here, the anti vaccination parents can’t be fixed like that, and many of them were not educated in the state ; but they can be made to follow health codes.
That said, Texas needs better education system. But this another issue entirely
We need to stop letting people refuse to vaccinate purely on philosophical grounds. If you claim a religious reason for not getting vaccinated then your group better officially have that position. In my home state, New Jersey, most who refuse to vaccinate are not part of a faith that bans vaccinations.
I like having no exemptions except medical due to other health conditions . It used to be this way in most places until the generations who suffered the diseases moved on
Large religious communities who hate vaccinations, will only respond to large fines against the parents.
Whoops forgot to educate your populace.
Education can’t fix it (lead horse to water …)
A less intentionally broken education system would reduce the scale of the harm done.
It isn’t the education system. American culture celebrates a proud level of ignorance. I see it here all the time.

What do you think can?
