Gov. Chris Christie has been vilified
for making a very simple statement – that parents (and presumably
patients themselves) should have the freedom to choose whether to
vaccinate their children. I have been asked for years what I thought
about vaccination, so let me lay out the issues.
Before getting into the science, lets discuss the philosophy:
1. The voices shrieking to forcibly vaccinate people are the same voices shrieking to support a woman’s right to choose abortion under Roe v. Wade. If a woman’s body is sacrosanct, if she has the right to choose to deliver a child or not, if she has total authority over her body, how can she not have the right to accept or refuse a vaccination?
2. Medical ethics are clear: No one should be forced to undergo a medical treatment without informed consent and without their agreement to the treatment. We condemn the forced sterilization of the ’20s and ’30s, the Tuskegee medical experiments infecting black inmates and the Nazi medicine that included involuntary “Euthanasia,” experimentation and sterilization. How can we force vaccination without consent? Vaccination is a medical treatment with risks including death. It is totally antithetical to all ethics in medicine to mandate that risk to others.

Vaccines should be voluntary but if you refuse to be vaccinated and refuse to have your kids vaccinated then society has the right to QUARANTINE YOU. You cannot work, shop or go ANYWHERE...your kids remain uneducated. You have the right to decline vaccination.....YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO INFECT OTHERS. That is how rights work. Choices have consequences and the people making shitty choices need to suffer those consequences.

DeleteIs this a parody?
If vaccines work so well, why would anyone care that others are un-vaccinated? If vaccines work, they work, you should be good to go. Or am I missing something here?
DeleteHeh... How much better off I would have been if I had not vaccinated my children. Then the public school system would not have allowed them in and we as parents would not have had to spend so much time trying to fix the ills of that public education. My one regret is it took us so long to recognize the value of a home school education. If we had just not vaccinated then all my children would have had that opportunity

I am old enough to remember the days when there were not vaccinations for all these diseases. I had the measles, the German measles (never really understood the difference between the two), mumps, chicken pox and whooping cough as well as probably a couple others growing up. I had the measles so bad that I was kept in a darkened room in bed for over a week because something about the measles caused my eyes to become extremely sensitive to light and a wee bit of that seems to have lingered even today. I even had a friend in grade school who had to wear leg braces because of polio. As he got older he could walk without braces but always had a limp.
The truth is however that fi you chose to be vaccinated and I did not then I should not be a threat to you if vaccinations work only to others who chose not to be vaccinated. The last leper colony in the US shut down in 1999 due but it may be able to be resurrected for the quarantine of unvaccinated individuals in the US. If there is not enough room there perhaps until they are needed for other uses FEMA camps can be used.

DeleteAnd there it is Michael... if these idiots pumping unknowns into their kids really trusted the vaccines then they should have NO PROBLEM being around unvaccinated people.
DeleteBut deep down they know something is wrong.
We WILL NOT stick known poisons in our kids bodies, if they do then THEY will suffer the consequences right along with their children.
As I keep on saying; if these vaccines are so safe, then REMOVE the govenment protections sheltering these vax companies and lets see how many vaccines are still on the market the following week... I think even someone with 'ole Dan's mentality probably knows the answer to that one.
A bit dated but I feel relevant. Thousands of kids have died from cancer which is
