The Left believes as well some parts of the nutty libertarian right, that we have a duty to get sick and die.

And these are same folks who lecture us the science surrounding climate change is “settled.” No kidding!

Vaccination is the greatest single invention of mankind - all the diseases we used to get we no longer have because they’re completely preventable.

It stands to reason that some people want to take us back to the Dark Ages. Go figure.

I'm stealing this as you've hit the nail on the head.

I've been saying the same thing; the eradication of diseases that killed hundreds of millions of people through vaccination is one of the triumphs of mankind. They're a gift from God as much as any modern technology or achievement.

Strawman argument. No one wants this (ok, maybe Algore and friends, but for different reasons) - we want the real risks to be understood and medical exemptions allowed. I am very pro-vaccine for the majority of people who are not susceptible to adverse reactions, or have a family history of this. What I do NOT want is people who haven't watched someone almost die from a reaction to use coercive, government force to require I stick my kids with something that could harm them.

Is this reasonable?

It’s a divide and conquer and distract approach to scampaigning.

Get this type of issue taking up talk radio, press, and polls rather than discussing border security, ISIS, and unemployment.
