If the shoe fits, wear it. Please re-read your post; talk about name calling....

I have no problem with the people that LOGICALLY discuss vaccine issues. But there are a few (the so-called Vaccine Nazis) that adamantly refuse to accept scientific evidence that disproves their point. Sure, there are vaccines that were bombs; specifically the Rotavirus vaccine of several years ago. Nothing is perfect; medications, cars, appliances. Since they are all made by humans, there are bound to be problems in at least a small percentage.

The purpose of vaccines ARE to protect the individual and TO ERADICATE DISEASE. I’m not sure if you are aware of this, but smallpox was eradicated through vaccination. Currently, Polio is on the road to becoming eradicated; at this point, it is 99% eradicated. Thus the switch in 2000 from Oral Polio Vaccine to Inactivated Polio Vaccine.

Are you against disease eradication? If not, other than vaccines, how do you propose that they eradicate diseases?

As for mandatory vaccination, there are people who choose to not receive vaccines. If it is an adult and they become infected with an organism that could have been prevented with a vaccine, then they deal with the consequences. However, if it happens to a child, and the parent chose to not get him or her vaccinated, then who is to blame?

The Amish don’t routinely receive vaccines. Maybe that’s why they still get Tetanus, Hib, etc. I’ve seen children become seriously harmed or die from vaccine-preventable disease. There’s no excuse for that....

What name did I call you? Where? Please be specific.

In your reply, you have breezed past the illogic you first demonstrated in calling a group/class of people who oppose mandated vaccinations Nazis, when strong armed mandating by government is a hallmark of Nazism and fascism. IOW, you’re calling the wrong group Nazis.

Until you square that away, the rest of the discussion is on hold.
