Preventable diseases. Next it will be adults. These anti-vaxxers will be refusing tetanus vaccines. They have this to look forward to:

"Progression of tetanus results in repeated painful, seizure-like spasms that last for several minutes (generalized spasms). Usually, the neck and back arch, the legs become rigid, the arms are drawn up to the body, and the fists are clenched. Muscle rigidity in the neck and abdomen may cause breathing difficulties.

These severe spasms may be triggered by minor events that stimulate the senses — a loud sound, a physical touch, a draft or light."

This disease frequently affects farmers.

Stupid people are going to seriously suffer. Luckily tetanus does not spread from person to person but you can get it by merely cutting your finger.
