Letter: Inoculate or isolate

Attention people in Clark County who don’t want their children to get vaccinated: Good old-fashioned capitalism needs apply here. You need to form and build a privately owned cooperative health center and pay for all your health care without an interfering government.

Who cares if the kids will have their antibodies and acquired immunities destroyed by measles? Certainly not those now agitating against vaccinations. Ignore the susceptibility to TB and asthma, etc. Please find and hire doctors, nurses, and EMTs willing to work at such a place, pay for orderlies, contract for medicines, purchase all the X-ray machines, the O.R. equipment — and don’t forget to build special schools for the kids that get scarlet fever and are brain-damaged, like so many people I saw when growing up as a child in the 1940s.

Yes, do it all yourselves. Finally, prohibit those children from using the public health system to try to have children when they grow up and are found to be sterile after getting mumps post-puberty.
