There have been at least 1,309 confirmed cases of measles in the U.S. this year. Hundreds or thousands of other families have most likely had their lives upended after being exposed.
Many parents in the US have to make a decision to both keep working and have one persons income essentially only pay for childcare or have one person stop working to be a stay at home parent until their kid(s) are school aged.
Things like this are a big contributor to population decline in the US.
It’s one of the things that makes me want to slap conservatives. They’ll be like “we want stay at home parents raising kids” but they’ll also be like “we don’t want to pay labor enough to do that”.
