I think it is absolutely criminal what these idiot parents did by not vaccinating their children. And to say that they were gullible is too nice- they were too fucking lazy to spend a few minutes searching on the internet to see if there was any factual basis to what Jenny and Oprah were spouting.
With access to the internet and the wealth of knowledge there, how friggin hard is it to look at as much information as you can and make the best informed decision that you can? And keep in mind these parents weren't in a 3rd world country they were in uppity places like Marin County.
To be really, really cynical though, isn't this kind of Darwinism? The stupid parents weren't able to make a good enough decision to keep their children alive, so that genetic line will end. And since I'm already going to hell for that statement, I might as well propose that those stupid parents would probably have raised more stupid people.
