Anti-vaccine parents dropped by some U.S doctors
CBC ^ | Jan 30, 2015

Posted on 01/30/2015 9:02:05 AM PST by Gamecock

With California gripped by a measles outbreak, Dr. Charles Goodman posted a clear notice in his waiting room and on Facebook: His practice will no longer see children whose parents won't get them vaccinated.

It's a sentiment echoed by a small number of doctors who in recent years have "fired" patients who continue to believe debunked research linking vaccines to autism. They hope the strategy will lead parents to change their minds; if that fails, they hope it will at least reduce the risk to other children in the office.

Will they also refuse service to the illegals that are bringing these forgotten and new diseases into the country?

” if that fails, they hope it will at least reduce the risk to other children in the office.”

Well, if the other children are vaccinated, what is the risk. Amazing how you don’t see this freak out among “professionals” over the deadly stuff like ebola or aids.

No, that would be “racist”.

Remember, everything that “makes sense” to people who aren’t insane

is “racist” or “mean” to a liberal.

They will continue to blame the parents concerned about vaccines whether they have legitimate concerns about vaccines or not, meanwhile this will provide “media cover” to continue the illegal demographic invasion.

Good. I’m tired of brain dead leftist parents endangering public health because they think they know better because some mouth breathing celebrities like Jenny McCarthy.

I see this more among the bible and guns crowd than leftists, but maybe it is different around the country.

I had a Flu vaccine around 4-5 years ago that a few days later caused both my legs to shake uncontrollably for around 18 months straight.
My Doc still denies that it had anything to do with the shot, It’s just coincidence that it started a few days after the injection.
Anyways that was the LAST Flu shot that i will ever agree to.

There might be infants in the waiting room who are not old enough to receive the vaccine. Also, some children are immuno-suppressed and CAN’T be exposed. It would kill them.

I have had 3 flu shots in my life and each time, within 3 days, was horribly ill. One was Asian flu and caused me to lose weight below 90 lbs and took me over a month to recover. Each time, the Dr’s office claimed that their shot didn’t cause the sickness, that I had caught one of the flu viruses that wasn’t covered by the vaccine.

Yeah, right.

Horror story after horror story from people all around the country, including friends, who received flu shots / vaccinations and experienced some health crisis has driven many Christian Conservatives to our knees (rather than to the Government)...

Deuteronomy 7:15 - And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest , upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.

Psalm 107:20 - He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

If people don't like it, no problem, we never asked for their opinion. They can continue to put their health in the hands of a government committed to population control...

Forget Jenny McCarthy.

Ask yourself why CDC researchers excluded data in an 2004 study that indicated a link to autism in the MMR vaccine. This was admitted in 2012.

Ask yourself why Congress credited a Vaccine Court and compensation fund for victims while granting vaccine makers immunity (ha!) from legal responsibility for damages their products might cause.

Ask yourself why Gardasil has been linked with dozens of deaths and serious, lifetime complications in teenage girls.

Or don’t ask yourself, and remain somewhat brain dead, though of the right wing variety.

We aren’t talking about the government, this is a private practice physician. If you are a Christian Scientist who practices prayer to the exclusion of medical care, then you should have no interest in what this physician does.

Well ... it’s the doctor’s practice so he can refuse to have the kind of patients who won’t listen to him. Why would those patients want to go to that doctor anyway?

Well ... I didn’t get any flu shot (haven’t before either), and I got the flu. Now, I wonder who is to blame for that ... :-) ...

I have no problems with this. The first amendment protects the right to peacefully assemble and that includes for business (medical care). It also protects the right to NOT assemble if one does not want to.

It was not debunked.

My little boy was tracking just fine and he got the MMR vaccine and he went numb. We almost lost him. After four years of therapy he is finally well and speaking and going to live a normal life. I have seen what Vaccines do to children.

They wanted my new born to have a Hep B shot! What is she a hooker or a drug user?

Sorry you can take your vaccines and shove them up your A$$.

We’re not having any more and if doctors won’t see us than fine. I’ll hire my own damn doctor.

I can afford to!
