It may not have been the best comparison, but I believe the principle of exchanging...
I don't know any of your specific reasons for choosing to no longer vaccinated your children. I sincerely hope those reasons don't include research by Andrew Wakefield.

One idea...I noticed that you haven't explicitly said that BHO is president. While I'm sure that the White House would have had sufficient notice to bug out, maybe the snow hit DC fast and he didn't make it out; thus a continuity of government plan was put into...
