“Yeah, I’m against a formal “requirement” for vaccination. I like to have the choice to vaccinate or not.”

Well, in Texas, you do get to choose. You can opt out of any vaccine that the Dept of Public Health is saying every child should have.

Apparently, that flexibility, which properly balances public health and parental rights, is not enough for you.

Would you be happy to know that abolishing those laws would probably lead to thousands of deaths? Would you be okay with that? Maybe you’d like to also go back to not requiring sewers and clean water too?

“So, you’re in favor of forcing people to take an injection whether they need or or not for the “greater good”?”

I am in favor of the current Texas policy, which is that parents have the right to opt out of the vaccination policies.

It’s a flat out lie to say people are being forced. They are not.

There is no need to put “greater good” in scare quotes. Vaccines save lives, including the lives of the people taking the vaccine. thanks to vaccines against polio, a dread disease no longer threatens children in America. Many other childhood killers have been diminished greatly due to vaccines.

“Do you work for the government or a pharmaceutical company?”

No. Very weird and paranoid question there. I’m just an anti-nutcase conservative.

"Balancing parental rights"? Are you kidding me? Why not give parents the right to "opt in" for vaccinations? Your way of thinking is 180 degrees backwards from the conservative perspective.

Yeah, there's another word for that, and it starts with "nutcase" and ends with "liberal".
