To combat a terrible measles epidemic, Italy is no longer putting up with unvaccinated kids.

Between 2017 and 2018 the number of global measles cases increased by 48.1% according to calculations by UNICEF.

Recent outbreaks have been caused by poor health infrastructure, low awareness, complacency and, in the developed world, a backlash against vaccinations.

Even though report after report shows there is no link between vaccinations and autism, a small percentage of people in the developed world refuse to vaccinate their children resulting in outbreaks of diseases that were nearly eradicated.
