Dystonia Hoax
For all the whining you do about my choice of sources (go figure that would be your line of attack -- you don't deserve to be a medical professional and the fact that you are is one of the reasons I have no faith in your society anymore) your own source here is weak and doesn't prove a damned thing. It's a smear on a diseased girl who may very well HAVE been misdiagnosed while suffering from mercury poisoning or anything else known to be in those vaccines that are simultaneously known to be TOXIC. Maybe they failed to teach you during your education (wherever the hell you supposedly received one)
If you want to smear this poor girl, a high school cheerleader for whom it would make no sense to stagger around as if crippled, by saying she really has no problems and is faking this whole thing

Wow, so doctors aren't even allowed to talk about their opinion that people might want to get the flu vaccine, but it's not required?
I didn't realize my MD negated my first amendment rights. I love that people who are screaming about the government taking away their freedoms are often the first to take freedoms away from others. A perfect circle.

Thiomersal is very toxic by inhalation, ingestion, and in contact with skin (EC hazard symbol T+), with a danger of cumulative effects. It is also very toxic to aquatic organisms and may cause long-term adverse effects in aquatic environments (EC hazard symbol N).[9] In the body, it is metabolized or degraded to ethylmercury (C2H5Hg+) and thiosalicylate.[3]
Few studies of the toxicity of thiomersal in humans have been performed. Cases have been reported of severe poisoning by accidental exposure or attempted suicide, with some fatalities.[10] Animal experiments suggest that thiomersal rapidly dissociates to release ethylmercury after injection; that the disposition patterns of mercury are similar to those after exposure to equivalent doses of ethylmercury chloride; and that the central nervous system and the kidneys are targets, with lack of motor coordination being a common sign. Similar signs and symptoms have been observed in accidental human poisonings. The mechanisms of toxic action are unknown. Fecal excretion accounts for most of the elimination from the body. Ethylmercury clears from blood with a half-life of about 18 days in adults.[11] A 2008 study found that the half-life of blood mercury after vaccination with thiomersal-containing vaccines averages 3.7 days for newborns and infants, much shorter than the 44 days for methylmercury.[12] Ethylmercury clears from the brain in about 14 days in infant monkeys. Inorganic mercury metabolized from ethylmercury has a much longer clearance, at least 120 days; it appears to be much less toxic than the inorganic mercury produced from mercury vapor, for reasons not yet understood.[11]
Risk assessment for effects on the nervous system have been made by extrapolating from dose-response relationships for methylmercury.[11] Methylmercury and ethylmercury distributes to all body tissues, crossing the blood-brain barrier and the placental barrier, and ethylmercury also moves freely throughout the body.[13] Concerns based on extrapolations from methylmercury caused thiomersal to be removed from U.S. childhood vaccines, starting in 1999. Since then, it has been found that ethylmercury is cleared from the body and the brain significantly faster than methylmercury, so the late-1990s risk assessments turned out to be overly conservative.[11]

I have mixed emotions about it. I'll use a hypothetical situation. Say there is an Ebola epidemic. Like Polio, eliminating person to person transmission is the most important step in eradicating the virus. Ebola is 90% fatal. The government develops a vaccine for it. Should they make it mandatory? Because if a good portion of the population doesn't get it then there would be a good chance of an outbreak later on putting our kids in danger. So should it be mandatory>
If I was in power, and I felt you not being vaccinated or your children not being vaccinated put my family at risk, and the rest of the country at risk then I would make the vaccination mandatory. My child shouldn't suffer because you have some kind of hangup on the vaccination. I see many parents who don't get their kids vaccinated when they should and they wind up losing them to an easily preventable disease...
But I also think that that power has the potential to be abused. But vaccinations have done far more good than harm. I think it needs to be left to the states in most circumstances. I also think that new vaccinations should undergo more thorough testing. There should also be a private(as in non govt) review of the vaccine safety. There needs to be extreme transparency. I'd also prefer to see testing on the prison population rather than the way they tested kids with the polio vaccine.
Laws are a lot like guns. Guns themselves aren't inherently dangerous. It's the wielder of the gun that makes it a deadly murder weapon or a method of defense. Same as the ability to force administration of vaccines. In the hands of the right person it could save the people of this country and in the wrong hands the possibilitties are endless...

I bet you were one of the people touting last year how good Obamacare is going to be, how we'll have "free healthcare for everyone."
There are lines in that bill that will lead to mandatory yearly physicals, taking your blood pressure, height, weight, and BMI.
At this yearly physical, called an Annual Wellness Visit, it doesn't say screening practices and vaccinations will be recommended, it says they will be ESTABLISHED. IE - You will be told to go to the doctor and get the vaccines, prostate exam, mammogram, ect.
Get your heads out of the sand please. There's not much room for misinterpretation in the wording of it. There's no way some of the wording can be made innocent.
If you think the census was bad,
except they can show up at your door anytime, ask a LOT more questions, and force health measures upon you.

Sorry, I think there's a whole lot of BS in this thread.
As a couple of other people have noted, the CDC will recommend vaccinations for everyone. They cannot use bodily force to make anyone take the vaccine - just as they cannot use bodily force to draw blood from anyone legally in the United States - and anyone who says that they have used bodily force to do this should have sued the pants off of the "agency" that did this to them - they would have won easily - if they didn't then shame on them, they should be too ashamed to mention it . They can only recommend.
Now, if they do pass a law or something (which is what would have to happen) that requires everyone to submit to the vaccine, then, yes, it will become an issue with me, and one I will not submit to, because they cannot do that legally and therefore, the law will be illegal and easily reversed.
