Conan imagines a day-care center that gives unvaccinated kids 'the care they deserve'
If the California-based measles outbreak has been a new public low point for parents who chose not to vaccinated their children, Conan's mock commercial for Kind Hearts Day Care might be its nadir.

You have to watch to get the get the full weight of the joke. But ouch. —Peter Weber
