Pushing back the bounds of ignorance.

[Question_Assumptions]

Ignorance? Tell me why my state demands that I vaccinate my infant children with a vaccine that prevents a disease (Chicken Pox) where the odds of death are something like 1 in 100,000 with a vaccine (multiple shots) that has something like a 1 in 700,000 chance of killing them and the vaccine doesn't even give them lifetime immunity like getting the disease does, leaving them vulnerable to infection later in life when the disease is more dangerous to them. Also please explain why you don't have problems with fetal cell lines being used in vaccines nor with vaccine companies bundling 3, 4, or more vaccines into a single shot, not even giving the parents the option of spreading them out. Few people oppose vaccinating their children for Polio but that's not all they are demanding vaccinatoins for these days.

Watch out for the “Purity of Essence” crowd. They will be along shortly.

Here's a quote from Dr. Mercola which might explain some of the reluctance to vaccinate children based on CDC guidelines which is to load them up with vaccines before the child is 2 years old.

If your child is vaccinated according to the CDC's recommended schedule, by the time your child starts kindergarten he or she will have received 48 doses of 14 vaccines. Of these, 36 doses will be given during the first 18 months of life. And now consider this: one vaccine injected into a 13-pound, two-month old infant is equivalent to 10 doses of the same in a 130-pound adult. Where is the common sense in these guidelines? Would any adult concede to being injected with 360 doses of vaccines within a couple of years’ span; equal to one injection every other day for two years? Public health officials have NEVER proven that it is indeed safe to inject this number and volume of vaccines into infants. What's more, they cannot explain why, concurrent with an increasing number of vaccinations, there has been an explosion of neurological and immune system disorders in American children.Some Parents are Homeschooling Their Kids to Avoid Vaccinations

There's nothing unreasonable about wanting to space out these vaccines or to avoid the vaccines which are for diseases which don't permanently cripple, such as measles.

The fact that the government is forcing itself into this issue is an abuse of their power, and FReepers who support the governments coercion in this matter are also oppressors.

Groan!

When the pharmaceutical cartels team up with The New York Times to say injecting infants and toddlers with toxic vaccines is just fine, you know something is askew. Mercury and animal DNA are never safe. The stupid experimental Polio vaccine these dorks with pocket protectors and chemistry sets dreamed up has been proven to have been tainted with a cancer-causing monkey virus. That's not a "theory" - it's a scientific fact. So is the autism epidemic among vaccinated populations. Not to mention MS, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, and strange cancers.

Vaccination has been the single greatest advance in medicine since the development of the germ theory of disease. These anti-vaccination crusaders will be responsible for thousands of unnecessary deaths and untold unnecessary suffering if we allow it.
