nopardons you are so right. It may be very fashionable (not to mention shockingly selfish and colossally ignorant) to sit around Beverly Hills insisting on not vaccinating your children but these diseases are very real in other parts of the world and globalization brings them much closer to home.

6 months ago there was a major polio outbreak in Republic of Congo and Angola, having approximately 20% mortality rate. I occasionally travel there for my job. We were required to get re-vaccinated and warned to have all of our family members re-vaccinated to help prevent transmission from ourselves and colleagues travelling from ROC and Angola. I can’t even enter Angola without proof of vaccination. I am proud to say the company I work for either directly vaccinated or provided funding and equipment for vaccinating 1.2 million people in ROC and Angola in the midst of this devastating outbreak. http://www.polioeradication.org/tabid/167/iid/80/Default.aspx

You and your company are doing something truly wonderful and should be applauded !

It's criminal that some parents feel that it is their right and duty to not do whatever it takes to protect their children from deadly diseases. This whole "DON'T VACCINATE" garbage became a popular delusion, foisted upon the gullible, only a couple of decades ago. Some Hollywierdo parents were looking for causes to blame their children's autism on and came up with vaccinations. Since autism can strike anyone, has been around for probably as long as mankind has existed, but absolutely long vaccinations were invented, we are soon to find that epidemics of long absent diseases are going to hit right here, in America, as well.
