It shouldn't be necessary to state that mailing live viruses in unlabeled packages is illegal as well as unethical and stupid.

Note that these are being sent by, and to, parents who disapprove of vaccination, so we can assume their kids haven't been vaccinated against hepatitis either.

So, having a controlled dosage of a killed virus carefully put into your child by a medical professional is too dangerous, but feeding random pathogens mailed to you by random strangers to your kids is safe?

. . . yeah. I think science education in this country needs to get better.
