The particular virus is a transmitted disease. If there is a safety issue with the vaccine that should be clearly brought out by the manufacture, and the government. Then people have a "right" to complain. The real issue is the disease is a result of sexual immorality and the vaccination can appear as license to "screw around."
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.
I also received all the vaccinations that was required to start school...parents that lived before the vaccines understood the rational for them as the results of the disease could lead to the death of many....This mandate may possibly help the individual person but it is not communicated to the person sitting next to them in school...only to the one that is sexually active...I grew up before the polio vaccine and was grateful my children had the inoculations....I was aware of the catastrophic results of polio and it was highly contagious....this particular vaccine does not even approach the rational for mandate of polio, pertussion, mumps and chicken pox... I think an infant getting a hepatitis vaccine is just plain stupid also..I personally don't know anyone with hepatitis and the infant also has a immature immune system... Since it is sexually transmitted, what is being done to the males that cause the disease to manifest...or is it only the female that causes it...
