Sorry Leon, but that is not correct. Having been employed with public health
for 17+ years, I can assure you the enforcements are even stricter than
before. However, your observation that there has been a rise in the
incidents of childhood infectious disease is correct. If you look at the
demographic breakdown, you'll see that the rise is occuring due to illegal
migrants. The mexican, central and south american countries do not have the
same level of immunization laws and required compliance as America.
