Yes, The U.S. Constitution Allows Compulsory Vaccinations

Not sure what the point of vaccinating people in a country whose government is allowing and promoting a massive invasion by third worlders.

I remember the hysteria about the “Swine Flue” and that unproven vaccine.

A number of people died from it, not a single case of swine flue was ever recorded in the US.

What could possibly go wrong? With Bureaucraps in total control?

[dp0622]

Anti-vaccinationists.

These people are horrible.

I’d go crazy without at least 2 vaccinations a year. :)

Last year I went to Vegas and The Bahamas.

[Alberta's Child]

Doing your best AOC imitation, I see. LOL.

[Skywise]

Wow... what a gingoistic article. Can she fit any more buzzwords into her propaganda?

It’s interesting the sheer amount of attacks and propaganda entering the press about “anti-vaxxers” - this is obviously a paid campaign and I guarantee that health has nothing to do with it. It’s a distraction from the fact that the disease outbreaks are occurring in areas that have the highest illegal immigration. It’s also a further attempt to increase big government in our lives and to divert funds into big pharma.

Vaccination saves lives, that’s not in question. What’s in question is getting vaccinated for dozens of diseases in one shot or the questionable need for “compulsory” vaccinations of HPV or flu shots.

ROFL!!!

And I made that up without the economics degree she has!

I should be banned for that comment alone :)

But I suspect she will say something close to that stupid within the next 300 days.

Yeah. Polio and smallpox were killers and was needed at that time. I had ALL the so called childhood diseases. Measles, chicken pox. Etc. No biggie. But my kids had the vaccines for these.

The worst thing I ever did was to take a flu vaccine 19+ years ago. It put me in an autoimmune condition I am still fighting. There are vaccines and there are vaccines. My kids had all the normal vaccines but no one in my family takes flu shots.

[Kaslin]

Our daughter was one of the first babies that did not receive a small pox vaccination. The reason was that she came down with meningitis (the kind that affects the lining of the brain) when she was seven month old). She was a very sick baby, but she had an excellent doctor and my husband thanked the doctor for taking excellent care of her. She is deaf in her left ear due to nerve damage that the illness caused and she has to use a hearing aid for her right ear. Otherwise she is in good health. She was 18 month old when she finally walked by herself, as she had to learn everything over again that a baby learns from lifting her head up and so on.

Before she fell ill she was already able to stand up in her crib and hold on. She is married to a wonderful man and both have a son who will be 12 years old this month and is very smart. He taught himself to type and types 80 or 90 words per minute. I am lucky if I type 20 wpm

The country cannot claim that it can mandate vaccines simultaneously as it says that you have a right to do with your body what you want. Saving others? Convenient argument, we can say the same about saving babies being murdered.

While I am not anti-vaccine I AM anti bad vaccines and they do exist. I refused, successfully the anthrax vaccine in the DOD, testified in front of congress as to how it will make people leave and looked deeply into that vaccine, its development its protocols and all the clams for and against, its a very bad vaccine that should not be given to anyone, especially women.

Human Papaloma vaccine is another. Not satisfied that its worth it at all let alone necessary except if you are promiscuous in sexual activity.

I know some will disagree but again you will not find me anti-vaccine, but definitely anti bad vaccine. The left loves to promote themselves as the only educated ones in the room and on this, climate change and transgenderism they refuse to even entertain that something they want could be wrong or bad. I agree that some on the right act in ignorance of medical vaccines and how good they can really be, but like climate change and transgender issues the conversation can not be honestly held with the left.

[I want the USA back]

Wrong. The Constitution does not permit this.

[Kaslin]

I remember that too and it was the most ridiculous reason for a vaccination, I’m not a pig

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

The author seems not to understand there is a legal difference between the Constitution not banning states from mandating vaccines, and the Constitution authorizing the feds to mandate them on a national level.

[I want the USA back]

If it permits this (it doesn’t) then it also permits locking up aids patients so they won’t spread aids. (They do this now in Cuba.)

[Kaslin]

I had the measles and I had the mumps and once you had them you was immune to them and could never get them. I do not recall ever having chickenpox. Two years ago I did not get the flu shot, not that I was against it, I just never got around to it. The same for my husband. We did not get the flu either because we stay away from people. It was different when we were younger

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Nobody is going to mandate that I put something into my body that I don’t want there. That’s the hill I’ll die on.

[gov_bean_ counter]

There are good vaccines and bad vaccines.

There is also a bad time to give a good vaccine...

[chrisser]

I’m not anti-vaccine. But I do question whether or not the multi-vaccine cocktails are the best method. I also question whether or not administering vaccines to infants is a prudent decision. And I have reservations that pharmaceutical companies, allied with big government bureaucrats, are being completely transparent about the testing regimen and possible side effects of the carriers the vaccines are contained within.

These should all be legitimate concerns and areas of inquiry, but to suggest any of them is to be labelled an “anti-vaxxer”.

Whether or not government (and the level of government at which it occurs is an important part) should compel vaccinations, especially for diseases which are avoidable via behavior modification, is a completely separate question. Certainly there are other solutions to those opposed to vaccination than to use force of government to coerce them.

“What’s in question is getting vaccinated for dozens of diseases in one shot...”

Somme doctors will refuse to give newborns those kinds of shots.

Actually there aren't. Vaccine effectiveness falls into an area of mathematics known as "network" theory, e.g. deadly diseases propagate from person to person, perhaps through a disease vector, through a chain of connections. It is well known in network theory that to stop the propagation of a signal you must cut a critical number of network nodes. The whole point of vaccinations is to cut enough nodes in the propagation chain the mass contagion is suppressed. Refuseniks become the links in the chain by which mass contagion can occur.

Public health is one of the greatest goods that a beneficent society can produce. That is the difference between a first world society like, say Japan or pre reconquista Sweden and say Washington DC, which doesn't actually believe in paving the roads. It's a state of mind as much as anything else.
