Get the vaccines. It is pathetic that we are seeing resurgence of things long ago solved. Yes, I know that many are because of illegal aliens, but still, vaccines work and save lives, not getting them puts kids and everyone at risk. For the public good, until there is credible reason to skip a vaccine, I am all for requiring them. I don’t want my kid sick because some other kid didn’t get their vaccine. I also don’t want my taxes paying for that sick kid when the vaccine could have prevented it. And what about the guilt of the parent who let their kids and others get sick because the skipped a vaccine?
You didn’t read the article.
Read the article, and refute anything USING THE ARTICLE as your point of reference. Even if you say the article is bunk, use it and explain your points.
Your post shows you didn’t read it, and you do not understand the actual science.
I’m curious. If your child gets the vaccine, how is your child endangered by a child who gets the disease your child is vaccinated against?
As for what you do or don’t want your taxes to go toward, that line of reasoning leads to absolute government control and you should recognize that fact before taking such a ridiculous position. Do fat people cost you money via higher Medicare and Medicaid expenses? Probably. So how far are you willing to go to stop people from getting fat and sucking up your precious tax dollars? Limit their daily calories? Require stomach stapling? Just how far?
As for the parent’s guilt, not your problem, at all.
And note that I’ve not taken a position of the issue at hand, i.e., how to encourage vaccinating. I’m only addressing the logic you use to justify your own position, which is to take away my rights as a parent.
