What would be better for the nation would be to close the borders.
Not a word about whether the invaders who deluged our southern border brought Measles and other diseases with them. Not a word acknowledging that no cause of Autism has been established. Not a word about the number of these cases that are infants under one year old in day care centers...how about rallying against that? No acknowledgement that the media and medical community barrage has been very one-sided and condescending. And under 150 cases is an epidemic?....not.
Vaccines are to make the rich richer and the common folk susceptible to mass murder.
Interesting how the narrative was redirected from the flood of non vaccinated immigrant children already sick with measles to just plain vaccinations. Wouldn’t be PC to blame the illegal border jumpers that were given free distribution across the country via the federal government.
Listen to him!
Earth to Dr. Carson! This is not about US getting vaccinated! It's about bringing in tens of thousands, if not millions, of children and adults who are bringing who knows what diseases with them.
For the love of.....
Problem is, both government and science are starting to come up short on the issue of trust.
You guys earn the trust. It’s not bestowed upon you blindly by the people.
Following Federal law on Illegal immigration and adhering to the US Constitution and Bill Rights would also be a good thing for the nation...but this current administration doesn’t think so...it’s all just open for anyone to do anything now a days...
The problem is that some people think that Playboy models and comedians know just as much about medicine as doctors and biologists.
Get the mercury out...and then I’ll think about it.
Diseases like measles and whooping cough are making a comeback because of highly-misinformed parents (blame it on Jenny McCarthy, I used to say). Just wait until we have another polio outbreak because of these people....
If you've been vaccinated, then what's your worry?
I vote we just vaccinate all the illegal aliens. :-)
I am in favor of you and I having the freedom to drive a car. But do we have a right to drive without wearing our seatbelts? Do we have a right to text while we are driving? Studies have demonstrated that those are dangerous things to do, so it becomes a public safety issue. You have to be able to distinguish our rights versus the rights of the society in which we live, because we are all in this thing together. We have to be cognizant of the other people around us, and we must always bear in mind the safety of the population. That is key, and that is one of the responsibilities of government.
Until EEOC is ended for firefighters, cops, LEO's in general, school bus (any bus) drivers, etc... this argument doesn't hold water. Our "public safety" is at risk due to not hiring the best, but the "quota".
Considering MANDATED meds for ~100 cases..?! There's a reason for this narrative. Control. Obamacare is coming up to speed.
More people die from bad pharmaceuticals ( approved by government) every year...and from salmonella from bad food growing and processing (government overseers)....Where is the outrage?
Any doctor who claims to know of NO PERSON injured by a vaccine is a liar.
Umm...yes! It might not be the safest thing to do, but how does my driving without my seatbelt affect anyone else?

The author has sloppy thinking.
If I text and drive and you don’t I pose a danger to you.
If I am not immunized and you are I do not pose a danger to you.
Some are, some aren’t.
The people who put out the recommendations have done a very poor job explaining the difference between MMR and polio on the one hand, and Gardasil and Hepatitis B on the other (not to mention Zostavax).
By hitching their wagon to vaccines for lifestyle diseases, or to vaccines that do not always prevent the diseases in question, they have misused their authority and allowed distrust to grow up.
MMR, polio, and DPT vaccines have saved literally millions of lives. The role of other vaccines in one’s life, or the life of one’s children, is less clear.
One size does not fit all.
