A Measles Case Hits Google's Silicon Valley Headquarters
The scary thing about anti-vaxxers, at least to me, is how susceptible educated people can be to essentially baseless fear mongering.<p>So when I worked at Google I (and many others) got into an argument with a software engineer who had strong anti-vax opinions and honestly, it&#x27;s mind-boggling how removed from reality people can get, even people with a supposed science education.<p>I&#x27;m glad California has started clamping down on personal belief exemptions. That still leaves medical exemptions and unfortunately it seems like some doctors are complicit in giving baseless medical exemptions.<p>In New York we&#x27;ve had cases of immunization records being falsified. I&#x27;m not sure if it&#x27;s by doctors or parents (maybe both).<p>Honestly any medical professional who falsifies immunization records or provides bogus medical exemptions needs to be jailed.<p>So I&#x27;m honestly not surprised measles is showing up in SV tech companies.
