Hmmm.

I nearly lost my younger daughter to complications of the mmr shot. Cerebral cortex inflammation...and 24 hours of agonizing death-screams. The doc said "don't worry about it". He musta been praying. The has been mildly brain damaged since she was 2.5 yeas old as a result. Kinda like autism-lite. I and my kids and grandkids opt out forevermore, thank you very much.

But I still don't understand the need or desire to compel it for others.

My oldest daughter travels the world ...a merchant officer. Hasn't had an innoculation since she was four. She's jes fine. She knows the risks. Her body, her choice. {no fetus involved.} She is no risk to others protected by inoculation.

Socialized medicine brings the stain of "it's an expense to me." Do you know the value of my daughter...or grand-daughter? I'm betting the sensitivity is genetic. If you find out for sure, it's too late.

If the sensitivity is genetic, your doctor can find out for sure.

Children doe because they were not inoculated as well. Is the value on their lives any less?

“But I still don’t understand the need or desire to compel it for others.”

Innoculations are not 100% effective, on an individual-by-individual level. For best protection, everyone is vaccinated so as to break the “chain” of infection. It’s called “herd immunity.”

I find it suprising that she can find work in the merchant marines without taking her immunizations.
