ZK: Idaho’s Cows Get Better Care

Zelda Krup: There's something I want to know, so help me out fellow HBOers. I read the article about Idaho's immunization rates thoroughly. But it didn't answer the most obvious question: Why does Idaho trail the nation (and many 3rd-world countries) in immunization rates? Yes, there are a lot of poor people in Idaho, but there are many more in Mississippi, Arkansas and Oklahoma, not to mention Botswana, Pakistan, Indonesia and Sri Lanka. This is shameful. Idaho's livestock has better health care than its kids.

Question: Anyone out there able to answer Zelda's question?
