Those pictures are a misrepresentation, RDdB. They are pictures of "polio" and "smallpox" victims. Many here, including myself, support vaccinations against high mortality diseases when administered at appropriate ages. What we refute, and emphatically so, is the notion that *any* vaccine can be mandated upon us by the government "for our own good" or "for the good of others". Vaccinations with poor track records for non-lethal diseases are more a "tax" than a "benefit". They are nothing more than "big business" cozying up to government, and come with their own risks of complications detrimental to our health. No one has died of measles in a decade, but the measles vaccine has killed many in the same time frame.

BUMP.

Thanks for talking sense, so real. Sheep should only be liberals -- it's sad to see how many self-defined "conservatives" are sheep, sheep, sheep, bleating and believing that their shepherd the Government isn't fleecing them.
