When we have as corrupt as a government as we do now, I don't feel comfortable with anything they "force" me to do. In Washington right now we a situation where a few people scream one thing & a large majority say the other yet our government tends to side with the minority. This is nothing more than one more way our government wants to control us. And, who are you to say that what a parent's decisions should be?

The jury is still out, in my mind, on vaccinations, but when the government starts forcing them on us, it makes me question them, especially for non-life threatening illnesses. For example, the chance of a kid having a serious adverse reaction to the DPT vaccine is 1 in 1750 but ...

For example, the chance of a kid having a serious adverse reaction to the DPT vaccine is 1 in 1750 but the chances of dying from pertusis is 1 in several million. One study has reported that 3000 children die within 4 days of vaccinations & another study claimed that up to 1/2 of SIDS cases can be linked to vaccines. I use to be pro-vaccination, especially working in health care myself, but the more research I have done, the more I question just taking what I have been indoctrinated to believe including many other controversial topics.

60 yrs ago certain brands of cigarettes were recommended by physicians, who's to say 20+ years from now they say vaccines cause all kinds of stuff.

Governments aren't corrupt. People are. Doesn't matter what type of government you have you will find that the greedy self interested will find their way into office.

The jury has been long in on vaccines. The only ones that it is still out on are those that don't want to accept that they are effective.

By the late 1970s, publicity about adverse reactions and deaths following pertussis vaccination caused the immunization rate to fall in several countries, including Great Britain, Sweden, and Japan. In many cases, a dramatic increase in the incidence of pertussis followed.

Before vaccines, an average of 157 cases per 100,000 persons were reported in the U.S., with peaks reported every two to five years; more than 93% of reported cases occurred in children under 10 years of age. The actual incidence was likely much higher. After vaccinations were introduced in the 1940s, incidence fell dramatically to less than 1 per 100,000 by 1970.

And that couldn't possibly happen today with our selfless drug industry.

Precisely my point.


Britain just sent a warning to the US last week warning that the new swine flu vaccine may cause GBS like it did back in 1976 when more people died from the vaccination than from the actual flu.

I'm not say all vaccines aren't effective. They have saved several lives but there are risks. If you think that the you are willing to take those risks, by all means, go ahead but not everyone is. What I am opposed to is the government telling me what to do.
