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.

Thank you - someone had mentioned they heard something about this but no details and I forgot to look it up.
A bunch of those Nazis on this site. And DU
I remember being told that parents should keep their recently vaccinated child away from an unvaccinated child as that virus can somehow or other be transmitted to babies that a child might come in contact with - such as a baby in the same house or a relative’s or neighbor’s child. That would fall in line with your “vaccine virus is shed by the vaccinated” - hadn’t thought of that in years.
How many would be in favor of this taking place ANYWHERE in this country? I guess the second screen name I used in this reply would have no problem with it...By golly - that would show the nitwits they can’t call the shots on their own child’s health needs. More than bone-chilling but a good term for it.
Anyone disagreeing is a Nazi? Cute - that’s the fall back position for all democrats.

“That’s an uninformed argument. If you’re vaccinated, those who are not are of no danger to you.”
“Uninformed”, surroundedbyblue says...
A significant percentage of people who get vaccinated do not develop resistance to the subject disease. They are put in danger by people who choose to not vaccinate their children. I guess surroundedbyblue is uninformed about that.
Many people with compromised immune systems are not able to be vaccinated. They are put in danger by people who choose to not vaccinate their children. I guess surroundedbyblue is uninformed about that.
Many people who are being treated for cancer are not able to be vaccinated. They are put in danger by people who choose to not vaccinate their children. I guess surroundedbyblue is uninformed about that.
And of course, many people who have wacko, nutjob parents who prevent them from being vaccinated are put in danger. I guess surroundedbyblue is uninformed about that.
Please.
Sometimes for the overall good, to protect the society as a whole, we have to do these things.
It’s happened for a long time with our nation regarding vax, as well as other timely emergencies.
It did not mean we were descending into tyranny.
You seem to be uninformed that vaccinated people shed the virus, putting the unvaccinated at risk. And the vaccine strain of the measles virus is much more virulent than the wild strain.
Get an education.
Your rights end where mine begin. You do not have the right to force me to take an invasive medication with questionable efficacy and safety.
Are you referring to me as the second screen name in your reply? I do not support mandatory vaccinations nor would I support medical kidnapping.
And you don’t have the right to pass your bad germs over to me. Just like I don’t need to breathe in your marijuana poison. You might not mean to but you do. The germs are too great a risk.
They have GREAT efficacy, or they would not have eradicated measles and polio and virtually wiped out TB and other horrible diseases.
Don’t try to make it seem vaccinated are constantly shedding. That is limited highly to the timing of the vax. Just like shedding is highly limited to when a person becomes sick.
That is a disingenuous statement.
At this point, I would say no - I got names mixed up...I’m sorry. Something didn’t seem right but I went ahead and posted...I think it was supposed to be to the person who called us Nazis.... I am sorry!
Just as “science” doesn’t fund the “climate change” hoax, industry isn’t keen about funding serious accusations that there are too many vaccines in too short years causing autism and other neuropatholgies in children and adults.
The freedom bashers believe the vax pushers’ spiel unconditionally but the vax spiels aren’t always convincing. Thus, we have seen the tragedies that have destroyed so many lives by vaccines.
Never force parents to endanger their children. Let all do what they think is right.
Bull crap
New conservative ever thinks that the government should force either inject your body with poison
This is a push poll and this issue is 100% democrat liberal pushed
There are only two states were there trying to force this vaccine bull crap New York and California
The Nazis are the 77% who believe it’s OK to compel vaccination against one’s will.
And there’s a bunch of them on this site.
The whole controversy isn’t much different from what we had in the ‘70’s about SIDS and breast feeding. They didn’t want to do any tests about babies who died of SIDS and the lack of incidents of SIDS in babies who were breast fed. Better to sweep it all under the rug, hoping people will forget it and proceed to create another alarm somewhere else.
Like I said in one of my posts, I lost my way along the way - too many distractions in my life. What’s more important - FR or things I need to do. I pick FR...
