If you want your child to have the vaccine, so be it, but don’t tell me I have to give a 12 year old a vaccine I don’t want to give her....The vaccine if only for supposed protection of one person...the others cannot catch it...therefor its an individuals decision. And puts others children at risk of the results of the vaccine that can be worse than death...Parents should have to OPT IN. Not opt out....
We have been vaccinating children for generations. I had vaccination for small pox etc. My generation all survived the vaccinations received in school.
The idea that we object to something because the State is mandating it is ridiculous! The very definition of law; "a command that a person shall or shall not do a certain act" indicates people are compelled all the time: "Thou shalt not run a stop sign!" We grant people authority to compel and I see nothing in compelling children and their parents to be immunized as violating any "right" or amounting to oppression.
Bachman's comments indicate to me that she is an imbecile playing on the ignorance and fears of an already hysterical population.
