A combination of ignorance and arrogance.

Either answer the OP's questions, or stop spewing all of your ignorance and arrogance at them. Jeez.

Default Pediatrician

Hey,

One of my friends who's son also has autism goes to Touchstone Health Associates. Message me if you want to know the docs name. I know they don't force it but they do require what the state requires eventually. I know with their son they like to space out the vaccines a much as possible.
But in NC you can't enter your child into Public School kindergarden without all the required vaccines by NC.
The only way to get around it is to go the religious belief route according to another friend of mine.

As for snakes...I don't like them at all......I've been here my whole life and have never seen one in person only dead in the road.

We have no obligation to accept or coddle people who willfully make themselves and their children public health threats. They have the means and intelligence to take the proper steps. It is nothing but willful ignorance that they don't.

If you and "the public" are vaccinated, as your implied tone would seem to indicate, what public health threat is anyone exposed to?

But by all means, keep thinking injecting mercury, aluminum, MSG, and formaldehyde into our children is a great idea. Epidemics and disease used to be Nature's way of keeping global population in check as well as ensuring that only the humans possessing genetics and bodies capable of fighting off and becoming immune to said diseases survived to pass on their non-vulnerable genetics to the next generation. Am I arrogant enough to assume what group me or my ancestors would've fallen into? Absolutely not. Just making a point that desperately needed to be made in this thread.

Your insane dedication to the cancer known as collectivism and the "what's good for the goose is good for the gander" mentality as well as your unwarranted antagonism against someone just asking a question or two sickens me, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

I won't touch on the vaccine / no vaccine issue, but I would guess finding a doc willing to not vaccinate further would be tough, considering the state mandates that indoor cats (who never go outside) must get rabies vaccinations.

What I have to offer is several million dollars brought into your economy and 15-40 jobs depending on if Charlotte will be the new main branch or just a satellite branch. My child will not bite you. He has manners, more so than any other kid his age. He has most of his vaccines anyway. He is autistic, he won't find comfort playing with your children either.
Wait, so you are deciding on whether to bring a multi-million dollar business to the area based on your child's & your dog's needs? Well bless your heart.

What a silly question? Did you really just ask that? And what a lazy, free-riding way to think about it. Why do my part when everyone else will let me free ride. You sound like a welfare mooch.

The anti-vaccer movement threatens to expose kids, who through the mere accident of their birth to ignorant parents, are susceptible to these diseases. There will always be a population out of reach of vaccines - children too young, those from other countries who were not vaccinated, those too poor or isolated to afford them. These diseases are still floating around out there. They've been drastically reduced, but they're still there.

There is a thing called evidence and history. I know that 60 years ago, we had kids suffering in iron lungs in this country and remaining crippled for the rest of their lives. Young men made infertile by the mumps. We do not have that now. We had people dying of simple bacterial infections that today are cleared up with a five-day course of antibiotics. A few years before that, infant mortality was something like 30%. That's the world you want to live in, be my guest, but you're not dragging me or the country that I love back to that.

I hate to break this to you, buddy. You live in a society. Everything you do is reliant in some way on a public good. The anti-vaccers are the free-rider in this situation - basking in the benefits of public health while undermining it through inaction.

I know it's fun to pretend that we're all rugged individualists, but it's just a fantasy.

We have narrowed down our search to a few cities based on our business's needs. Now we are looking at our family's needs, and yes our child and dogs mean the world to us.
Charlotte is a turnoff if I based my move off of the responses to a thread, but I of course I don't. Heading to Charlotte tomorrow to decide for myself.
