What do you know about my kids and what vaccines they've gotten and haven't gotten or the results of those vaccinations? You want your daughter to have them. I no longer want my children to have them. You have your reasons. I have mine.
Is there anything else that you believe should be forced upon my family, so that your family may be better off as a result?
I had hoped your comment about taking my children away, vaccinating and then returning them to me was an implied purple. Thanks for showing me the true color. And please don't use polio as the example why my kids should get a vaccine for chicken pox as others have upthread. That's such apples to oranges argument.
All for the greater good, I suppose.
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.
This whole country is built on laws, all of which modify man's natural freedom to do whatever he pleases. A more stark example would be traffic laws and driver licenses. In a natural world with unlimited rights, you could travel in any manner you pleased, going as fast as you wanted to without stopping. But your natural rights don't amount to much if you crash into someone driving just like you. Rather, we exchange the unlimited freedom to drive in as we please for the limited freedom of driving by the rules of the road and being penalized when we break them.
It work the same with vaccines. Someone doesn't play by the rules and get vaccinated, and an innocent person may pay for it. I think the science speaks for itself, unless, again, you adhere to Andrew Wakefield.
Sometimes I wish that everyone in the country who didn't want themselves or their children vaccinated were moved free of charge to one state so they could see personally the consequences of not being vaccinated.
