I don't recall Bachmann saying all mandatory vaccines are a bad thing. Her issue seemed to be with vaccines for things like HPV which are spread through deliberate behavioral choices. In such cases, she seems to believe the state should stay out of it and let the parents decide.

And here you have a problem. Bachmann did NOTHING to stop parents from being excluded entirely in her own state of Minnesota when she was a legislator. Governor Perry guaranteed parents had the final say.

Bachmann's shown her true colors as a crass opportunist in the face of a faltering campaign. Hypocrisy has followed her for months. She's against hiking the debt ceiling except when she's signing a pledge to support increase it. She's against subsides except when she's taking income from a farm benefitting from them, income she denied but declared in her disclosure forms. She's against earmarks except when it's for her own home district.

She's flailing about demagoguing the vaccine itself when it's been tested in tens of thousands, continued safety monitoring shows it's been found no less safe than other vaccines, it's been approved for males as well as females now.

Yesterday she was on with Hannity claiming parents are too busy to be involved in their children's healthcare decisions so it's just too risky for government to ask parents to opt-out. It blew my mind!

She's lost all perspective and is engaged in the kind of underhandedness we expect from Democrats.

See post 36. MN has an opt-out already.

Maybe at some point on this thread you will realize that spinning your tires on a gravel road gets you nowhere.
