I don’t buy this anti vaccination crap. Its modern trendy white woman drama, like IBS, fibromyalgia, autism, “GMO” corn, etc.
Wiping out those diseases was the best thing since sliced bread, maybe better because I can break bread.
This isn’t conservative, its ignorance on parade. This anti vac movement started with bored leftist moms after they got the alar off the apples.
And as for those who will chime in that all the diseases come from the illegals coming in,,,,,true. Now explain to me why they have all the old disease that we don’t anymore.
Bright.

No, it’s totalitarianism and another shredding of freedom and rights.
If they can force you against your will to have medical procedures, Katy bar the door.
I beg to differ with you. I’m not a modern, trendy, leftist, white woman and I was part of the anti-vaccination movement more than 2 decades ago.
First of all I will agree that vaccines have wiped out certain diseases. For 2 decades the only cases of polio in the U.S. were from the live virus vaccination - it took the CDC 20 years to change the form of the vaccination and part of the change was because many of us questioned why they continued to administer a live vaccine.
Secondly, the introduction of multiple vaccines in one shot doesn’t allow for the doctors to determine what portion of the vaccine is creating an adverse reaction. My eldest daughter had a reaction 30 years ago and they couldn’t tell us what the cause was. We let them finish giving her the normal routine of vaccinations, and the same for daughter number two, but for children 3 and 4 we demanded individual vaccines instead of a conglomerate.
Thirdly, in 1998 they introduced the rotavirus vaccination to prevent severe childhood diarrhea. It was pulled less than a year later because the vaccine was causing bowel obstruction and the reaction was worse than the so-called disease. So the first children receiving the vaccine were guinea pigs. It took them 7 or 8 years to re-introduce a vaccine - is it even necessary in the first place?
Fourthly, when the CDC introduced the chicken pox vaccine in the middle 1990’s their own pamphlets, aside from talking about how few people die from chicken pox, and they were mostly adults, talked about the benefit to parents not having to take off of work to care for a child with chicken pox. Really? You inject a vaccine in kids for a disease that rarely causes death in order for parents to work? Ridiculous. Also, the introduction of the vaccine has caused an increase in shingles among adults because the adults aren’t exposed to the chicken pox.
Fifthly, the CDC’s own paperwork explained that the most at risk person’s for Hepatitis B were teens/adults who were intravenous drug users, un-safe sexually active and persons in lower socio-economic areas. So EVERYONE had to get the vaccine as a baby - another over reach.
Finally, aside from the few exemptions available, making these vaccines mandatory is wrong. The decision as to what vaccines and how they are administered should be left up to the parents and their doctor, not the government in conjunction with the drug companies who stand to profit from them being “mandatory”.
Before you cast your derision so widely, consider the fact that there are hundreds of thousands who at various times in their childhood medically are ADVISED AGAINST receiving the vaccine.
I was one such, and could not take small pox until I was an adult due to a childhood skin condition.
DesertRhino, thy name is ostrich -
Americans who can still think regard any action on the part of an out-of-control central socialist government as suspect and evil.
