You are defying the global warming - wait, no - I mean the vaccine experts?

Report to Room 101 for mockery, breakdown, and then after a light lunch, rebuilding.

These people are fanatics. You either haveto believe their way or you’re stupid, evil, can’t figure stuff out for yourself, etc. This is exactly how liberals argue when they have no substance to their position. They just start with the personal attacks. It’s what the global warming alarmists did. They destroyed people’s careers and got them fired for not going along with their viewpoint.

Here we have supposedly conservative people who can’t stand it that some parents have decided that for their family vaccines are more risky than they are beneficial. And for this these “conservative” jackboots cannot stand someone else making a health decision different from what they believes is best for them.

Vaccines are not a one size fits all solution for everyone. You don’t know other people’s medical histories. You don’t know the medical problems of other people’s children. You don’t know the hereditary issues that may exist in their world that you don’t have to deal with. You don’t know they’ve already had kids or themselves that have had really bad reactions to vaccines in the past. What you decide to take a risk on may not be what someone else is willing to take a risk on.

Statistics mean nothing when YOU are the guy permanently damaged or dead, or your kid is damaged or dead.

So suck it up - people can make their own medical decisions. We aren’t the effing Soviet Union or China forcing abortions on people if they try to have a second kid. We don’t demand people take risky medical actions that they can’t sue the government or vaccine makers if it screws them up. If that’s the world you want to live in, I suggest you go find your little communist utopia somewhere where the individual has no rights over their own personal health.

Exactly! The choice comes down to the individual, not the state. This is a fundamental tenet of conservatism.

It’s also good to view the FDA with a healthy dose of skepticism because it’s part of the government just as much as any other federal agency. I’m not saying that it’s always wrong, but it certainly can’t be immune from the corruption that’s found its way into everything else in Washington.

People who ask questions about vaccines or any other health-related topic should be commended because they’re attempting to take charge of their health. If more people asked questions before eating junk food, smoking, or settling for a sedentary lifestyle, we’d all be lot better off.

Reward their curiosity and point them in the right direction; don’t tell them off. That’s what I say.
