Health officials plead with residents to vaccinate against measles as Utah hits 358 infections.

“It is not a mild infection, it is not a mild virus; it is a severe illness. And they kept on telling me they wish they’d known beforehand how bad measles was, so that they could have protected their family,” she said.

        Mormons believe that their children are pre-selected in the pre-earth life, so the children chose to come to that family in their theology.

        I have to agree here. Those bairns didn’t ask to run the risk of lifelong complications like blindness, deafness, brain damage, loss of motor control of a body part, lung damage, immune system damage and a whole slew of others I needn’t list to labour a point.

        The parents should be no longer so, but condemning those kids to yet more abuse at the hands of the system strikes me as nothing short of sadistic.
