Get Vaccinated or Leave School: 26,000 N.Y. Children Face a Choice

Is this a joke? Is this a troll where you say really stupid things as a joke?

No, 63% coverage rate (for DTAP) is depressingly low for a supposed first-world nation. Luckily diphtheria is more dangerous to children and toddlers with weaker immune systems where the vaccination rates are actually higher.

If your ignorance only endangered you, I'd be all for it, but illnesses like the measles are more virulent and deadly, and there are children, the elderly, and the immunocompromised to protect.

How about this: we give you guys an island in the middle of the ocean where you can live vaccine free with all your vaccine free friends. Then we airdrop the measles and small pox and test your belief that you don't need vaccines? Do you have faith that you'll survive?
