More than half of Americans polled recently were in favor of vaccinating children against measles, even if it meant going against the parents’ wishes.
In a Reuters poll, more than 2,000 people were asked to give their opinions about getting vaccinated for the measles.
Advertisement It’s all in relation to the outbreak, which has confirmed 764 cases so far, that’s sweeping the nation.
Eighty-five percent of those polled completely agreed with vaccinating every single child unless there a medical reason not to, such as an allergy or otherwise life-threatening issue. Then 77% said children should get immunized even if the parents object to the vaccination.
According to Reuters, most Americans are in favor of the measles vaccination.

Really? Even in violation of a parent’s right to subsidiary over their child’s medical care? Even in violation of a person’s constitutional right to religious freedom?
Sorry but you’re no conservative if you’re supporting forced, mandated vaccination.
A simple search of how other countries do this says that they space the vaccines I know a kid who, for the convenience of his working mother, went in for a ton of vaccines at once including one not yet scheduled. He got up the next morning out of his mind. He’s been that way in the twenty years sincet to not run around exposing other people to diseases.
I avoided vaccinating the kids. That’s not to say I did not vaccinate them. I did
Of course they all eventually got vaccinated with everything necessary.
Necessity is the key. It is necessary in order to operate within the western world at this point to not run around exposing other people to diseases.
Vaccination is how we do this
There are dangers and side effects to some and there is intelligent skepticism over how they are produced and preserved. We know that pharmaceutical company can sometimes not care about our health. And they cover up facts. So does the cdc and the fda
Rather than go at them, the source of our doubts, we hate each other
That’s not a good way to go about this
The way to get people to vaccinate their kids is to regulate entry into schools, employment and travel.
We do that already.
We have to be vaccinated.
I imagine that the current vaccination issue is brought in by the exalted royal illegal immigrants who are not required to abide by the law for anything
No way they’re getting vaccinated
We have an illegal taking up space in a local hospital for a couple of months ICU for a lot of that with an active case of TB
Endangering everyone. Taking thousands of dollars per day hospital bed
We’re fighting each other over these people
It is not us who are not getting vaccinated
Build the wall
If “the people” are so concerned, they’d demand that our borders be protected to prevent diseased, third world invaders from waltzing into our country.
“Regardless of how you feel about vaccines, you cannot deny that forced vaccination is un-American & violates the God-given rights of parents.”
People can refuse to vaccinate their children, and society can refuse to associate with them. You’ll have to keep them on your private property.
That is American — Freedom of Association.
yup thats where these have been coming from lately.
on puropse. they are let in sock on purpose to cause these outbreaks. deliberately.
That’s an uninformed argument. If you’re vaccinated, those who are not are of no danger to you. What’s more, the live vaccine virus is shed by the vaccinated, so they’re actually the danger to others
With any luck the dim bulbs who don’t believe in vaccinations/electricity/flush toilets will die out of the gene pool.
Unfortunately, in the meantime, they and their offspring will still stumble, slack-jawed and sick-by-choice, into the local ER which will then charge me, via insurance rates and taxes for treating the idiots’ avoidable diseases.
The full court press is on for legislation to force us to take injections against our will.
Contemplating just WHY they want that is bone-chilling.
Lefties, drugs and conspiracy tales.
Must be the 77% of voters who vote democrat.....
Why else would 0bama ship them all over the U.S., including Hawaii & Alaska ?
Trump is still letting them in in good sized numbers.
You’re not alone in asking the question. I have no idea why it’s become such a large issue today except for the push by the pharmaceutical companies. Never forget how powerful they are. They can make any occurrence into an epidemic. Bottom line, you know!
Myself and three siblings also experienced all the childhood diseases you mentioned but it was more like the mid to late 1930’s. I have been reading old diaries of my mothers and just today I ran across the entry where my two sisters and brother had chicken pox in 1938 and my mother wrote that I was fine - I was the youngest and only 2 at the time. The next day she wrote, “The baby has chicken pox now.”
Correct and 1 is too many. The more we allow, the more will come and demand their “free” s**t.
They are a highly REDUCED threat to the vaccinated, NOT 100%.
But when you are not vaccinated, you are much more likely to pick it up, and now the threat has doubled to all, whether vaccinated or not. Multiply that by all those who refuse to vaccinate.
Bah on the old “evil pharm” just like liberals who hate any Corp.
They would not have declared Measles extinct in the US if they thought they could make an extra buck off it.
You may not think those diseases are bad, but what if you are the complicated one? What if you’re the adult who gets it?
Drat - she was on something last night and I don’t recall what it was. She’s never on TV - I had never seen the woman before and I wasn’t that enthralled - maybe a book she’s written? This is it - all about EMPOWERING women. Well, bully for her! I made it without a fortune made by my husband and working for 60+ years without a thought to how rough it was supposed to be! No one told me that when I entered the work force straight out of high school and never left it until age 70.
Come to think of it, it must be really a tough job getting rid of the billions her husband has made. WOW - she’s really accomplished a lot, hasn’t she?

“”They find a substance that causes sterilization of the person who gets the vaccine.””
I don’t see that as a problem - especially if it’s on the continent of Africa. Maybe we’ll have less Omar types entering the country....
