His sensible position scares me. I might have to reconsider mine since he seems sensible.

Mandatory in what sense?

Mandatory or the kid isn’t allowed in public school?

Or mandatory or the parents are criminally liable?

Or both?

Or something else?

Crap!

If Hill gets destroyed, I’d bet that this psycho worm jumps in as a candidate in 16.

"Wants to make heroin injections mandatory?"

Could be. Libs have been in favor of anything that turns the US into an idiocracy sooner -- but I think we've already been there for 6 1/2 years.

Anyway, it's pretty clear that Kennedy's brain damage doesn't stem from vaccines.

Step 1: Mandatory vaccines for children, with no exceptions - "it's for the good of society"

Step 2: Mandatory annual flu shots for everyone, with no exceptions - "it's for the good of society"

Step 3: Mandatory [fill in the blank with whatever government social engineers decide to fill it in with] for everyone, with no exceptions - "it's for the good of society"

“And that getting high vaccination rates is a necessity to protect the public health and public safety.”

We're from the government and we're here to help you.

Measles, mumps, Tuberculosis, Polio, etc., have been virtually eliminated from the US WITHOUT mandatory vaccinations.

The resurrection of these diseases is directly attributable to the influx of infected children from other countries.

Start with THEM.

Remember that Bill Gates had vaccines used in Africa that killed babies in the womb and makes women sterile.

EXT. PICNIC GROUNDS

Dot faces Hi and Ed across a picnic table covered with grilled
hamburgers, rolls, green jello mold, cooler, etc.

One of the younger children sits in the middle of the table,
occasionally taking a fistful of jello and flinging it at
Hi. The two women don’t seem to notice.

DOT
...and then there’s diphtheria-
tetanus, what they call dip-tet. You
gotta get him dip-tet boosters yearly
or else he’ll get lockjaw and night
vision. Then there’s the smallpox
vaccine, chicken pox and measles,
and if your kid’s like ours you gotta
take all those shots first to get
him to take ‘em. Who’s your
pediatrician, anyway?

ED
We ain’t exactly fixed on one yet.
Have we Hi?

Hi sits stock-still with a stony face.

ED
...No, I guess we don’t have one
yet.

Dot shrieks.

DOT
Well you just gotta have one! You
just gotta have one this instant!

ED
Yeah, what if the baby gets sick,
honey?

DOT
Hi, even if he don’t get sick he’s
gotta have his dip-tet!

ED
He’s gotta have his dip-tet, honey.

Hi shrugs, then flinches as a piece of jello hits his
shoulder.

HI
...Uh-huh.

DOT
You started his bank accounts?

ED
Have we done that honey? We gotta do
that honey. What’s that for, Dot?

DOT
That-there’s for his orthodonture
and his college. You soak his thumb
in iodine you might get by without
the orthodonture, but it won’t knock
any off the college.

Hi sits stoically. Dot is looking offscreen:

DOT
...Reilly, take that diaper off your
head and put it back on your
sister!... Anyway, you probably got
the life insurance all squared away.

ED
You done that yet honey?

DOT
You gotta do that, Hi! Ed here’s got
her hands full with that little angel!

HI
(dully)
Yes ma’am.

DOT
What would Ed and the angel do if a
truck came along and splattered your
brains all over the interstate? Where
would you be then?

ED
Yeah honey, what if you get run over?

DOT
Or you got carried off by a twister?
