I presume you would exempt parents of unvaxed children who were unvaxed for reasons beyond their control, such as

1) Could not afford shots

Good thing you can get them for free from free clinics.

2) No access to health care

Good thing that places that have no access to health care have no public education access either.

3) Child could not get shots for medical reasons

This is the ONLY reason to not vaccinate your child. As the parent of a child with a transplant it worries me that there are morons out there not vaccinating their children by choice.

Tylenol is not totally safe...Aspirin is not totally safe, Motrin is not totally safe, MRIs are not totally safe, X rays are not totally safe, water is not totally safe.......In all cases people have been significantly harmed by their use. So what is your point exactly about vaccines not being totally safe?

Superconductive materials have 0 resistance which means there is no energy lost to heat.

As for how easy these temperatures are to hold, see your local hospital and ask them how easy it is for them to maintain their MRI machine's superconductive magnets.

What understanding the underlying properties of super conductive materials allows is for us to perhaps engineer some meta-materials that hold such properties at room temperature.

Do you know why private companies seem to always do things right from an economic sense? because those that don't do things right die off. Government can just do things wrong for a lot longer....that does not mean government WILL or does anything wrong and it certainly does not mean private industry does anything correctly.
