Why would I use that? I didn't want to. I think it's rude to lump everyone one into one post and answer that way, like a list. Wow, you are a bit controlling. Feel free to use cd how you'd like and I will use the features I'd like.
Could you please clarify what you do because people on here are referring to you as a medical professional because you work in a doctors office. Please.
Because when you embed your comments inside a previous post it makes it very difficult to respond to them. Multiquote is here for that very reason. It is easier than embedding and using colors. Some colors are also hard to read.
I am my husband's part time office manager. I have an educational background that includes real courses in human physiology, including immunology, not junk taught by the likes of Melody Torcolacci.

Husband is a doctor? Ah, yes, that makes sense. Doctor will not make money with no patients, or REPEAT patients. Like any industry. Repeat customers.
One point I have consistently and repeatedly made in these discussions about vaccination is that neither the Constitution nor anything else guarantees you the right to have a life totally unimpeded by government or the state. What the Constitution is about is trying to strike a balance between individual rights and the police power of the state to act to protect the health, welfare, and safety of its citizens. In our system, the Supreme Court is the ultimate arbiter of the Constitution and to bring this discussion back on point, the Court has ruled that state governments can mandate vaccination and they can refuse to grant exceptions to that mandate.
You may think it stands for something else, but you'd be wrong.
The real issues here are simple: 1. Vaccination prevents disease; and 2. Vaccination works best to prevent infectious disease when large percentages of the population are vaccinated.
The reason the courts are willing to let state governments impose vaccination requirements is because of a simple balancing calculus. If vaccination is an infringement on individual liberty than it is the most minor infringement possible to accomplish the purpose of preventing the spread of infectious disease. A quarantine of those infected (or possibly infected) is a much greater deprivation of liberty. Making your child get a vaccination that has a one in a million chance of causing harm to your child is a more rational solution than allowing children to spread a disease that may kill 1 out of a 1000 people who contract it and force 50 others into a hospital for treatment.
You can talk about personal freedom all you want too. That freedom has to be balanced in our system against the freedom other people have to be protected against your spreading infectious disease.
Its really pretty simple.
The "dirty, sick" people (not saying who) spreading "disease" were rounded up in a certain time period in "quarantine camps" to protect the good, strong, healthy people of a certain "race".
That concept has been done before. Certain "Codes" came into effect after that. This is what some of you want today.
Some even take this a step further, even for non contagious diseases. If you are not tested for colon cancer, you will get colon cancer. Then you will have to be treated and that will make MY insurance rates go up. All of your illnesses will cost ME money. You SELFISH behavior is costing me money/sickness. Say again who exactly are the "ME'S" of society?
People who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat.
You're wrong that the science does not show it works. You're the one who keeps saying there's a difference between research and science, yet you constantly post these "studies" that purport to show your POV. Anyone can find anything for that. You know so little about immunity that you thought babies born to vaccinated mothers didn't get antibodies from their mom; I was the one who had to do the internet search to show you that was untrue, b/c it was part of your belief system that supposedly trumps actual science.
That's also true for the pro vaxxers. Why so condescending? I asked you to provide the proof (in another thread) because I wanted to know the difference between natural antibodies vs those from the vaccine. I didn't want to look it up and you said they were the same so I asked you to prove it. You did provide the source and for some reason that really made your ego grow to epic proportions as well as your assumptions about what I know and don't know. And it was true that the antibodies from natural immunity lasted longer then the antibodies from vaccines. Also remember when you accused me(in another thread) of sharing a post of yours in the future, meaning I hadn't done anything at all yet you thought I would share it in the future so you got all bent out of shape due to an assumption. And then in this thread you took old posts of mine from a different thread and shared them here? Maybe you were so worried because that is the kind of stuff that you tend to do yourself. Really awesome.

Oh. My. God! We've already shown how much treating vaccine preventable diseases vs treating vaccine adverse events cost in Colorado in 2013. 100X as much money was spent on the former. You may search my posts for the links.
Here's a good article for all the "liberty" people: I've Seen A Measles Outbreak; It's Not Something We Want To Risk By Denigrating Vaccines - Forbes "I appreciate the need to stand up for personal freedom and defend our liberties. But in the case of a highly infectious and highly contagious disease, the “choice” we are defending is one that allows neighbor to harm neighbor. . . .We should believe the science—the facts—and avail ourselves of what the rest of the world views as a privilege."
I urge everyone, but especially the people concerned about "liberty, tyranny, freedom", etc to read it.

I only talk to one person and one thread at a time, I don't see the need. I will do it when I need to respond to your long posts so you have an easier time of it then.
I am a history professor, so I can see where we might not see eye to eye. And I don't like seeing other professors fired for misunderstandings. Which I feel might happen.

I was the only person you were responding to.
Multi quote does not mean answering more than one poster (though you can), it lets you respond to one post by breaking it up into smaller chunks.

You asked for proof because you stated that immunized moms didn't pass on antibodies to their babies and I said that was incorrect. No, you didn't want to look it up. You could never find anything to support that. Traditionally, debate requires a person making a statement to back it up. You refuse to tell us what your credentials are, but posts like that tell us a lot. You do not understand this stuff.
