The only time I care about whether or not you choose to vaccinate is when I am thinking about a set of parents with their precious baby who is too young to be vaccinated ... and your decision to not vaccinate winds up putting that child in the ground because you took your chances, got sick and then gave that child a disease that ended up either killing or crippling them.
At that point, your choice killed someone whose parents didn't make the choice to take the risk. They couldn't choose yet. They were powerless, so you basically chose for them, and your choice killed their kid.
When we find a way to avoid that. You can definitely do with yourself as you please.

Pub med is just a repository. It has no bearing on the credibility of the papers or journals.

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...
erm, i'm thinking pardon? was overstating his case (calling pubmed the definitive place to have research papers and then calling lipid replacement therapy "junk science". note the article is on pubmed (several times) lol)

Anyone not vaccinating their child is an idiot and should be charged with criminal negligence and child abuse.
I appreciate everyone's right to hold on to whatever ridiculous views,secular or religious, they cling to but, this doesn't extend to the harming of others through action or inaction.
Advocates of Christian Science will straight up let their children die because of their ridiculous notions and this new anti-vaccination stance is like bringing back blood letting.
Ever hear of polio?
The real problem is anti-vacc idiots are going to lead to the resurgence of a lot of diseases we almost eraicated.
Like measles at Disneyland.
Your right to be an idiot does not trump the safety of others.
...and an hour later this is the new episode of NLBS.
Couple that with the fact that he only has one publication on Pubmed about vaccines and that's not about MMR (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...) and that tells me enough about him.

This is correct and why I say something needs to be done to keep people who don't vaccinate from endangering those who would but can't because the child is too young.
To me, if we take the libertarian position of "your rights end where mine begin," then there exists a need to recognize that your right not to vaccinate should not give you the right to endanger someone who would be vaccinated given time.
This latest measles kerfuffle shows the unraveling of the vaccination umbrella of herd immunity.

no matter how you twist it, saying that his "lipid replacement therapy" is junk science, IS saying that "lipid replacement therapy" is junk science because it has a R after it, meaning that it's his product. you need to clarify your statements better because you are inferring onto the subject of "lipid replacement therapy" your personal opinion of a doctor who knows a helluvalot more than you give him credit for.

I don't get "uppity-up" (whatever that means) with anyone.
As long as they don't put words into my mouth anyway.

so you wanna explain how i got "Via the air" brainstem encephalitis in a geographical place where the odds of getting it were 1,000,000 to 1, and without any known cause of said infection? start whenever you're ready.

Not really no, as I'm not your physician.
And it's nothing to do with what I was saying about Nicolson.
