If using the law to corral antivaxxers doesn’t work at first, try, try again. At least, that seems to be the lesson learned by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. On Tuesday, he declared a state of emergency and mandated residents of the Williamsburg neighborhood, where an outbreak of measles has been raging since last fall, get vaccinated for the viral disease. Those who choose not to will risk the penalty of a $1,000 fine.

Yea, if they start quarantining people with minor colds or the flu I will be scared. Quarantine is fine to enter a place, like making a ship sit in port for a week. But going to people's homes and locking them up, no.
