You have the right not to be vacinated, but not the right to spread a highly and easily controlled and serious disease. Do the non-vaccinators feel the same about polio?
Those who do not study history often repeat it …… if one has a dog or cat you get them their shots. Hopefully everyone washes their hands before eating :-)
I would bet that the current anti-vaxers are themselves already vaccinated, being children of an age when everyone knew what a great thing vaccines really are. I wonder it that thought has ever occurred to them. Oh, wait…“thought”….probably not.
Read the news. There is an Ebola outbreak in Ethiopia. Doctors are there with the cure and the vaccine. However, the people are being told by tribal leaders NOT to cooperate with the doctors so they are hiding their sick and the disease is spreading, again. Sound familiar???
parents gets a shot when their kids they don’t get any diseases but then they won’t give it to their kids so that they could go ahead and get the diseases how stupid is that, they listen they don’t read and to the wrong people
In early 40’s there was no vaccination for measles, mumps,& many other nasty diseases. At 10 my wife had an aneurism & became temporarily paralyzed in her right side. By keeping her immobile at such a young age effect proper spine growth. No speech therapy either. 7+ decades later.. well you can imagine the issues now!
Thought we were down with measles………….the disease rears its ugliness again in Seattle area. Moved north from Vancouver. Having had measles as a child, I’d take any precautions NOT to have this disease. Didn’t contract Mumps until I was an adult…..was very sick. Wasn’t fun. therfore I’m Pro-Vaccine.
Back in the early ‘70s I worked for a veterinarian. One day a customer (people are customers; animals are clients) came in all happy and said he had just heard that the polio bug had been completely eradicated from the planet. No more polio. ANYWHERE! Even in my early ’20s that didn’t sound right. But people believed it because we needed to believe that science was the answer to anything. Now, 40 years later, after butter, bacon, coffee, water, fat, no fat, meat, no meat have been declared deadly / absolutely necessary to good health, nobody much cares what the “experts” believe, we just throw the bones, shake the chicken feathers, consult the winds, and go where they lead us.
Had an idiot tell me that measles was just a mild childhood illness, way less dangerous than the dreaded vaccine… Told the idiot that I nearly died of it when I was a child, to the point I nearly received the last rites. After a second of hard thoughts Idiot told me I must have had a bad reaction because it was ‘proved’ that the vaccine was way more dangerous than the disease. What can you do when you meet such stupidity?
Unvaccinated children cannot spread diseases that they don’t have. If your vaccine works, then vaccinated children are not at risk. Measles is a normal, non-lethal disease, yet the vaccine has killed and maimed many. Learn the risk. I will take the measles, mumps and rubella over the vaccine any day. And yes, I was vaccinated and STILL had the measles and rubella; the vaccines are worthless.
It is more serious than many realize, even when a serious complication does not happen, because measles damages the immune system’s ability to respond appropraitely to other infections, so the individual’s chances of a serious illness of other cause also increases.

This argument will never be settled.Those who are convinced that vaccinations are dangerous will never otherwise be convinced. Without a federally enforced law, vaccination never be universal, and even with a law, there are always exceptions. So, those who believe in vaccinations, protect yourselves, be innoculated.

Yes, preventing a deadly disease is so much more dangerous than the plague. (extreme sarc)
