i am about as anti big big government as you can get ,But these idiots need to be given a ultimatum .either get your kid vaccinated or we will do it for you ,No exceptions except medical
Not having your kids vaccinated against things like mumps,diphtheria etc is child abuse and neglect pure and simple
That's my point. No one can predict if a child will have an adverse reaction to a particular batch of vaccine.
I'm not saying a vaccine or combination of vaccines cause autism. No one knows for certain.
My concern is the post-vaccination adverse reactions that happen with regular frequency, some very serious. My concern is no opt out provision. My concern is giving routine vaccines that have a potential for harm, to prevent diseases that an individual has almost no likelyhood of ever contracting naturally, and even if contracted would likely be destroyed by the body's own natural immunity.
Consider this. Most people aren't aware they contracted an organism if symptoms were never expressed because their own robust immune system handled it.
The CDC says vaccination can cause both minor and, rarely, serious side effects. Okay, but that's cold comfort if it's
your child with post-vaccination brain swelling and consequent permanent damage – or even death – when, absent the vaccination, your child would have grown and thrived normally into adulthood.
Opt out provisions must be available as a matter of conscience – just as informed consent is part of accepting the risks of vaccination.
