I disagree with you. Making laws that require people to immunize children against innocuous diseases like Chicken Pox has led to adults who were never exposed, thus opening them up to a more devastating disease in adulthood.
These enforced inoculations were the beginning of the citizens of the US giving away our freedoms over our own bodies, and our own health and healthcare. Welcome to Obamaworld.
Good post, and a GREAT tagline.
I don’t know how old you are but do you remember people who had polio and what happened to them? Do you remember the children who died of Diptheria? Do you remember the women who miscarried or had children with birth defects because of exposure to Measles?
I understand choice but if your choice is to expose me and mine to deadly diseases, I wouldn’t give you that choice. If I wasn’t already immune to Measles and you gave them to me, I would consider suing you because it is totally preventable. If I was pregnant and it caused me to have a child with birth defects, I would hold you responsible. There is no need for children to suffer and die. If these diseases weren’t communicable you could do your thing.
I don’t like government control either but there have to be some laws to protect people. There are laws against theft and murder and I bet you don’t object to them. I bet you wouldn’t like being deliberately exposed to AIDS either.
These childhood diseases are no different and when they kill you they do it much faster than AIDS would and when they maim and cripple you, you get to live with a lifetime with that disability.
The virus has NO civil rights so it's alright to use your immune system (which you kind of share with your species) to kill it.
