Rand Paul gets it....it’s about freedom of choice.

[Ron H.]

Agreed!

[MrB]

And parental rights.

[ifinnegan]

Rand Paul really gets nothing.

It has never been forced and shouldn’t be.

As far Hep C, I agree no reason for it.

The reasoning for them is that of course any children born now will grow up to be sexually immoral and expose themselves to such diseases.

As for flu shots, I don’t think they are necessary, but are not any harm.

[henkster]

That’s right, it’s about freedom of choice. And if you are not immunized against a disease that you pass on to my infant grandchild before he has had his vaccination, do I get the choice to just kill you?

Because if that happened, I would really really like to do that.

The real problem here is bad product marketing resulting from a long legacy of socialized risk management. They have vaccines for everything these days, especially flu viruses that nobody has a the time.

Usually, one doesn't even know who made the vaccine or how. Is it a GMO, or live animal culture? They can't tell you. Are there porcine viruses in there? What are the adjuvants? Is there squalene in it? Nobody can tell you. THE MANUFACTURERS DON'T EVEN OFFER A LIST OF INGREDIENTS, much less an independently validated safety record.

This would never happen in a competitive free market, where vaccine producers would be ADVERTISING the quality, safety, and efficacy of their products along with data from third party validation services.
