PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Chris Barnes, 11, is getting his latest round of vaccinations for measles and tetanus.
“It doesn’t really scare me as much as other people, it’s just a shot,” he said.
Without regular immunizations, Chris would be turned away at his pediatrician’s office.
Dr. Wayne Yankus refuses to see patients unless they follow the government recommended immunization schedule.

Have you or have you not vaccinated your sons and daughters with HPV vaccine? Simple question Tom.

The schedules vary from country to country but it seems the total number of jabs and their timing is pretty consistent throughout Europe.
Yes. Why?
Because there are extremists on both ends of the vaccine issue. I consider parents who subject their pre teen children to vaccines spread through genital contact extreme. No better or worse than parents who deny their children routine childhood vaccines.
She wasn't a preteen when she got it. She was a shade before 13.
However, your nasty attack on me doesn't change the facts. I see you dropped your nose-picking example. Good choice.
I was born in 1932 and thank God for vaccines.
As a child I had measles,mumps,chicken pox,and scarlet fever. Quarantined for all and the entire family quarantined for the scarlet fever.
I missed polio but remember the fear when there was a bad polio summer. Two kids in my neighborhood contracted it.
I had them all and more being from a large family and have no idea what you mean by quarantine because we were never quarantined except in the sense that we stayed home from school for the duration.
Uh, yea.
And incorrect. Following the recommended vaccine schedule is not "extreme" by any stretch of the the word.
So how freaking nasty have you been to nice folks on this thread who had the gall to question whether or not natural immunity is sometimes better than vaccination Tom?
"Freaking"? Not very.
If you look back, you see that my first posts to everyone were pleasant. Reading back, I only got snippy with a couple of posters, and they weren't "nice" to me. Although I disagreed with your first post I replied to, I was very agreeable, no?
When you call them anti vaxers, is that a compliment Tom?
If they are against vaccinations, relying instead on "natural immunity", then yes, by definition they are anti-vaxxers.
Seems pretty simple to me.
Twelve doesn't contain the letters teen.
How should the government treat Americans that choose not to inject HPV vaccine into their pre teens Tom?
Simple is not always the whole truth and nothing but the truth Tom.
It is evident that you use the phrase with contempt dripping off of it and what's more you apply it to people who you have no idea what their complete position is on vaccines.
Disdain convinces nobody Tom but I have no problem giving as good as one gets.
T-E-E
Close enough for me. Kinda like being one month away from 13.
How should the government treat Americans that choose not to inject HPV vaccine into their pre teens Tom?
Er, ignore them?
However, since you REALLY seem to have a hangup on this HPV vaccine, let's stipulate it is "nasty" and not at all a good thing.
Does that move the discussion on?
I have a hangup with people who think the federal or state government should force Americans to vaccinate their children against a disease that is spread sexually and has death rates about the same as drowning. Guilty as charged! And I simply want to know who those people are so I can avoid them and their opinions like the plague. Fair enough, right?
Right!
Maybe they'll make a vaccine for that someday.
Or their equivalent. Wealth over honor every time for them.

You’ll certainly never run out of sleaze.

I should have added that I used to be a Dental Hygienist. I don’t tell people that very often, but when I worked in SO.Cal, I had a patient that was an epidemiologist, who was brought to USC to work the AIDs epidemic. He used to scare me to death.
I was in Boston and we has quarantine signs posted on the
front of the house and the quarantine addresses were read out loud in school.
I have researched it carefully. The hysteria which some promote does not change the facts
