They don't vaccinate their kids as general prvention.

Some years ago, ther4 was a measles outbreak that was spreading from community to community. Adults and children alike lined up for the vaccination.

They can be pragmatic when a situation calls for it but yearh, their kids catch everything in those small school houses.
