A family from my region went on a trip to Wales and both kids contracted measles and were sick when they returned. When the children were young the parents never had them vaccinated and now they're sick.

It was just sheer luck this happened when school was out, the school system here doesn't require kids to be vaccinated as most places in Canada require.

It's so easy for a stupid thing to escalate into a world-wide event all because of a few anti-vaccination idiots.
