If we don't keep our eyes on this one, many people will suffer.
If we don't keep our eyes on militantly ignorant pants-wetting maniacs, we'll have a resurgence of smallpox, whooping cough, poliio, diphtheria, and a host of preventable diseases.
So, they might as well get paid. the Docs are selling YOU Vaccines, Ritalin and Prozac without a book at all, just lies from their lips. and you buy that.

This is why the nation is watching Obama so closely. He's is exactly what you describe. and He'll make it mandatory.
Here in CA you can sign a form and you don't have to get all the vaccinations.
The wealthier areas don't get their kids all injected up.
The poor Hispanics especially get injections like cattle before a slaughter.
"California is facing what could be the state's biggest outbreak of pertussis since 1958, according to its top public health official. This contagious disease is more commonly known as whooping cough due the distinctive whoop that occurs when sufferers cough and gasp for breath."
"So far this year, five children have died, all infants younger than three months."
truth is, you got more chance of getting mugged and killed by MS-13 before you catch Polio.
Not true, actually.
And let's try another disease.
Maybe you're too young to have ever had measles. "Measles, transmittedthrough coughing and sneezing, can cause ear infections, pneumonia, diarrhea, brain injuries and death. Cases can quickly spread in schools and communities, especially in areas with a high concentration of unvaccinated children, officials said." Measles cases in California reach a 10-year high - latimes.com
And you've probably never had whooping cough, which has now killed several babies and new mothers who have not had updated vaccinations.
"Dr. Michael Brady, a pediatrician at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, chairs the Committee on Infectious Diseases for the American Academy of Pediatrics. He says that when a single child skips a necessary vaccine, there are implications for the entire community."

I say let people opt out. I also say let your insurance company opt out of paying the bills if your child gets one of the diseases vaccination could have prevented. Fair enough.
Fine as far as it goes, but if some ignoramus refuses to get his kid vaccinated and that kid gets my granddaughter sick he's gonna need insurance coverage for his trip to the emergency room. We may have to accomodate every kind of culture, belief, and superstition in the name of diversity and political correctness, but this kind of ignorance is dangerous. Sometimes government force can be a very good thing.

They got you by the emotional heart strings I see. did they offer any findings on the vaccine as the possible cause or did they continue slanting the masses to fear so they'll walk lock step to the nearest clinic?
It's on topic. you are dispensing medical advice and we want to know your education background and if you are allowed by law to do so.
As a healthcare professional, this person knows less than nothing about medicine and is quite dangerous. Hopefully everyone who reads his posts realizes he is clueless.
