Yes. The information I found said most children aren't immunized against meningitis until age 11. That was just another part of the parents' idiot belief system.There are vaccines for bacterial meningitis.This is what happens when you trust unqualified quacks more than proven science. Now they'll spend the rest of their lives regretting their ignorance.
A toddler got meningitis. His anti-vac parents gave him an herbal remedy. The toddler died. Now his parents are on trial.
On March 5, the Canadian government opened its trial against David and Collet. The charge: failing to provide their 19-month-old son, Ezekiel, the necessaries of life. According to prosecutors, David and Collet stubbornly refused to take their sick son to see a doctor, instead giving him home remedies such as smoothies containing hot pepper, ginger root, horseradish, onion and apple cider vinegar. Even after warnings from a family friend who is a nurse, the anti-vaccine couple took him to a naturopath for echinacea — an herb believed to stimulate the immune system — instead of to a doctor for an exam.
What does that have to do with being anti-vaccine?
True, but it seems more of a problem that they are anti-medicine than anti-vac. It can be cured by antibiotics.
Many people who are anti-vac, are not anti-medicine. I only mentioned this because the OP seemed to label all anti-vac into the same pile as these idiots.
