How do you figure being against forced healthcare is left-wing stupidity?
You may think, but I saw a doctor on the news say “there is no scientific proof that vaccines are harmful or cause autism.” You may think the news media is reporting factual information but would you be surprised to learn they may not be reporting the whole story? Kathleen Sebelius is quoted in an interview with Readers Digest stating, “There are groups out there that insist that vaccines are responsible for a variety of problems, despite all scientific evidence to the contrary. We (the office of Secretary of Health and Human Services) have reached out to media outlets to try to get them not to give the views of these people equal weight in their reporting.” A Free Press is not instructed on what to report by Government Officials.
I ask you, if a product, say breakfast cereal caused 1 out of 88 children to be brain damaged, would that product be recalled? Would you tell your children or grandchildren to continue consuming it? The Rate of autism was 1 in 10,000 in 1980 and the rate of autism is 1 in 88 in 2013. (Many parents of autistic children swear their children were perfectly normal healthy children until they received their MMR shot, then regressed into autism.)
Another point of contention is whether vaccinations should be mandatory in order for children to attend public school. At this time most states have exemptions for religious, medical or philosophical reasons. This right to make personal medical decisions is under attack as more people demand vaccinations be mandated.
In Dr. Lee Heib’s column for World Net Daily, she says it much better than I could, “At the end of the day, the issue here is one of freedom, and freedom is the freedom to choose – even if we make a bad choice. The argument that I must vaccinate my children for the good of the community is not only scientifically questionable, it is an unethical precept. It is the argument all dictators and totalitarians have used. “Comrade, you must work tirelessly for the good of the collective. You must give up your money and property for the good of the collective, and now … you must allow us to inject your children with what we deem is good for the collective.” If American’s don’t stand up against this, then we are lost. Because we have lost ownership of ourselves. Our bodies are no longer solely ours – we and our children are able to be commandeered for the “greater good.”
