Singapore, the land of liberty. If only America could be more like that paradise. No thanks.
Such hyperbole will get you nowhere. You do not have the freedom to go around infecting people with your disease. Before vaccines were around HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of people died from smallpox, measles, and mumps. The only reason that so few die now is because everyone else’s parents were smart enough to get their children vaccinated.
If you want to play around withe someone’s life, do it with your own and don’t subject your children to quackery that will get them or other people’s children killed.
You should watch this video, Congressional Hearings put a little sunshine on the problem. Hopefully there will be more to come.

Could be you are healthy because you have a strong immune system. :)
The one week I spent I Singapore in March 2014, I had a great time. Very safe, can walk in the city at night without getting mugged, no drug dealers (they hang drug dealers pronto), wonderful restaurants, several miles long underground highways under the city to bypass traffic. They were brightly lit and well laid out. The airport is ultra modern with free PC’s with internet everywhere for passengers to use, and the ocean cruise terminal is world class. If I could get residency visa, I would move in a minute.
I spent a month in Singapore as a poor young business man and the prices almost killed me.
I am not against ALL vaccinations. Smallpox and polio are fine to be mandatory IF THERE IS AN EPIDEMIC. Non-lethal diseases such as measles and chicken pox etc. should be up to the parents. And if there is an outbreak, schools should be allowed to restrict attendance of non-vaccinated kids.
You miss the point. Vaccines PREVENT epidemics.
Epidemic of a any non-lethal disease such as chicken pox is no big deal. On the other hand even one kid becoming autistic or dying as a result of vaccination is unacceptable to freedom loving parents. If you want to be a serf of the big government, go ahead. I do not.
I have survived mumps, chicken pox, whooping cough with no lasting effect whatsoever. The only vacaccination I received as a kid was for small pox. But I got small pox anyway even after vaccination.
I can still break 80 on a 18 hole course at my age in the 70’s. I still walk all 18 holes = 7 miles.
