I do have a child [13] and I want him to be healthy, but these companies that make these vaccines don't inform the public of where they are derived from. There are other resources to make vaccines from besides aborted babies. That link that I posted shows that it is a road that we don't have to follow, and I would like a choice for me and mine.

I have nothing against vaccinations so long as the people making them aren't violating my trust and my ethics.

The idea of forced vaccinations is abhorent to Free men. This legislation is just another step towards a global police state.

I might take this "vaccinations" crap seriously when the following three events occur:

1) Our borders are secured
2) Non-citizens from Muslim nations are kicked out
3) A clear policy is put in place to use nuclear weapons against anyone who attacks the USA with biological, nuclear, or chemical weapons.

I agree and I am sure there are other viable alternatives. However; are the alternatives available in the quantities required for a region wide small pox outbreak? This is not directed at you but at the way many on this forum are acting right now. I just have a problem when every thing the government is doing to prepare is viewed as a conspiracy and at the same time everything the government does NOT do is also a conspiracy.

I think it depends on the disease and the quality of the vaccine. For instance, I don't believe anthrax normally spreads from one person to another, so the risk would mainly be to the victim, not those around him. In addition, the anthrax vaccine provided by Bioport was very, very questionable stuff. So it can be argued that anthrax vaccine should not be mandatory, at least in the present state of the art.

Smallpox is another matter. If the risk is only 1 in 100,000 that the vaccine will harm the patient, then it would be reasonable to make it mandatory, because smallpox spreads so quickly from one person to another that many lives would be saved.

Whether or not government bureaucrats can be trusted to make these kinds of practical distinctions is another matter, especially since public health departments have been corrupted by their involvement in "reproductive health" and other bogus activities. More likely, they would force vaccinations from whatever company gave them the largest campaign contributions.

At that point, this will no longer be the United States, especially since the government did nothing prior to prevent this due to PC concerns and both parties pandering to ethnic groups. I will be happy to die as long as I take a couple of worthless bureaucrats down with me.

"no different than shoot down orders for future hijackings"

After the pilots are denied guns in the cockpits; ans you defend these bureaucrats? What are you, crazy??? No answer necessary.
