And there are still pacifists out there who would play dice with my kid's life by negotiating with terrorists.

Yes. Or spread disinformation like "vaccines are useless but harmful" and "unGodly."

Often the same "health nut" types that are anti-vaccine are the same types who are "pro-peace".

We have far more than our share of these nutballs in Alaska- especially around Fairbanks. I have had a few serious arguments with them- especiually the ones who don't want their kids to get Polio vaccine (I had Polio as a small child- I recovered fully, but many did not).p> Aside from that, though, there is certainly some blame attached to the professionals who made the decision to completely stop Smallpoxvaccination- even though they KNEW FOR SURE that the virus still existed in at least two labs, and very probably a lot more. The Greeks had a word for it- "HUBRIS". And a bad case of HUBRIS was always punished.
