Canada just lost its measles-free status. So here’s the question…
If an unvaccinated child spreads measles to someone else’s kid, why shouldn’t the parents be liable in small-claims court?
I’m not talking about criminal charges, just basic responsibility. If your choice creates the risk you should have to prove you weren’t the reason someone else’s child got sick.
Is that unreasonable?
I got those needle parades in the 90’s in the area I grew up in (Atlantic Canada), in much the same manner.
It wasn’t a choice for us and we didn’t have outbreaks.
