Problem with measles, they may have "snipped" their children. At least the males.

Antivaxxers don't have any particular association with circumcision I'm aware of, if that's what you're getting at

No, a side effect of measles for boys is that it can result in infertility. I meant "snipped" as in sterilized. Their stupidity could prevent their kids from reproducing. Wait: I think I'm getting it mixed with mumps. Yeah, I was. Mumps, a disease vaxxed against alongside measles, can cause male infertility.
