God has a desirous will and a permissive will.

Humanity is in a pickle already of having rebelled in spirit against the Lord. The Lord permitted it but He never desired it. However permitting it was the only way He could let love have a voluntary aspect and not be a robotic Kabuki dance.

The complex result of this and the Lord’s desire to redeem mankind is the reason for the sometimes baffling scenes we see.

Should people immunize. The answer is a resounding maybe.

It’s simple. I have enough evidence to mistrust the government and their eugenics doctors. It’s settled. They want to do science experiments on my kids.

“There is no good reason not to get one.”

Three young girls have died from the flu shot in the last 3 mos or so. They would have survived the flu. This year’s flu vaccine is only 23% effective anyway. If that.

Some vaccines are a good idea some others not necessarily.

Circumstances can militate towards the advantage of certain immunizations. A crowded city makes more immunizations make sense than a sparsely populated countryside.

Inasmuch as possible I believe immunizations should be voluntary, but quarantines are not voluntary, and people who did not immunize and thereby spread a deadly disease will have to live with that awareness.

Choose wisely.

You do not know that.

Depends on why they perished. If it was the germ, probably not. If it was an allergy to something else in the vaccine, quite possibly.

We accept medicine that is not perfect. Too much aspirin can give you bleeding ulcers but people with headaches seldom refuse it.

“Anti-Vaccination” crowd my ass! This outbreak is without a doubt the result of illegal immigrants who have not been immunized. Any other argument is pointless and specious.

But as a parent with many children, some of them grown, none of them have had vaccinations. To this date, all have been perfectly healthy without Government

That has to be the most self centered, selfish, unChristian, diatribes that I have ever heard....Good grief, this is the 21st century and blood-letting has gone out of style.

I have not seen that such people can be reasoned with, or that they exhibit any particular ability to understand scientific or mathematical concepts.

I expected such a response from the typical elitist government sponsored person of "higher learning". I too have have such credentials and I have found that it is an "exercise in futility" to even try discussing case after case of families who had perfectly healthy children until their 2 year vaccinations.

No one is trying to impede you from your faith in Government...so what is the problem?

“Three young girls have died from the flu shot in the last 3 mos or so.”

That may be accurate, but even with flu vaccinations, 30,000 Americans die of the flu each year.

Without vaccinations, the number of flu deaths would be in the hundreds of thousands.

“A vaccination makes catching a disease entirely preventable.”

Not entirely true. Google it.

“There is no good reason not to get one.”

There are many good reasons - including that some vaccines do not work, like the flu vaccine for older people.

“Whether its for children or adults is equally true.”

I agree there. No universal reason for adults or kids. Don’t universally work for either.

That.
The Government has shown that it does not have our best interests in mind.

I’d rather have the real diseases and get forever immunity anyway.

Yup, it is forever.

Who claimed that the primary vector originated in Mexico?

How may illegal aliens entered this country recently that were from south of the Mexican border?

Measles was entirely contained and controlled in this country prior to the recent deluge of illegal aliens entering from our Southern border, and that flow of illegal aliens originate from more or less every corner of the Southern countries of this hemisphere and many from outside of the Americas.

I have to assume that you never had the REAL diseases nor saw the effects of complications arising from the REAL diseases.

We, of the generation that had the real diseases, saw the birth defects caused by rubella during pregnancy, saw the wasting limbs left by polio (and the pictures of kids in iron lungs), gladly had our children vaccinated and were thankful that there were finally vaccines to eliminate these vile diseases.

Correct...the more factual and circumstantial evidence that we get from baby vaccinations, the more we go to our knees in prayer first before vaccinations (of babies without mature immune systems)
