I checked out your links. I see a religious ferver and see no need to argue with you.

Live your life and I pray enough of your neighbors are vaccinated to protect you and your children.

If you think I am spewing it is because I have had the misfortune of watching people die from preventable disease. I am very sad to see lawyers knocking out the support for a very successful national vaccination program.

I have never seen a case of human rabies, small pox, polio or even rubella all thanks to mandatory vaccination programs.

Smallpox vaccinations have been discontinued for a very long time. My last polio vaccination was via the oral vaccine on a sugar cube in 1961. It was part of the lot contaminated with Simian virus. Rabies vaccinations are rarely offered before an individual has actually been bitten. I had rubella in 1963. It wasn't pleasant at age 8, but not a disaster either. I had chicken pox at age 28. A little "gift" from folks at church. That was a miserable 2 weeks. All 3 of my sons caught it too. My wife was still immune after her case as a child.

Most of the vaccinations for childhood diseases have been successful and safe. The recent advent of vaccinations for hepatitis B didn't make sense for children. It does make sense for an emergency services worker who might perform mouth to mouth CPR without any isolation equipment. Other than that, the principal persons at risk are IV drug users, prostitutes and promiscuous gays.

The difference is that 90% of HPV infections disappear with no medical intervention.
