I tell you now, if they think they can do this to my other children, they will be meeting the hard end of my foot in their ass.
Mostly military - an unneeded thing that makes war suppliers billions. If We stopped spending money on war, We could feed, clothe and house everyOne on this planet easily and abundantly.

i'm right there with you, but you do understand this isn't about forcing anyone, this is about ensuring the people refusing actually understand the risks, much like the waiver you sign gives up your right to sue if the child is harmed, this is merely an effort to ensure these people understand the risks, and to cover their butts so you can't come back and sue because they didn't tell you about the risks. It's mostly about making an informed decision.
Now, if your doctor refuses to sign that form, then you've got something to complain about.
during the h1n1 fiasco, 3 different friends of mine had their children vaccinated. All 3 ended up with seizures and extremely high fevers.
After one dose of MMR, approximately 90-95% of children are protected against measles, over 95% against rubella, and 85-90% against mumps. After two doses, almost 100% of people will be protected against all three diseases. Because the diseases are so infectious, it is necessary to have very high levels of immunity in the population to control the diseases. It is only possible to do this, if children receive two doses of the vaccine. For this reason, almost all countries, recommend two doses of the vaccine. Those countries that have a high uptake of two doses of MMR vaccine have been most successful at eliminating the diseases

These vaccinations exist for a reason (prevent spread of disease/infection),
Well, not really. That is what They TELL Us. But it's all about the money/power/energy.
They have concocted evil, dangerous stuff and tout it as "life-saving," when They make loads of money off it, and later, as people show symptoms of the poisoning, They can sell more "medicine" (that does further damage and requires further "medicine" They sell).

Vaccines do not cause autism, get with the times. The whole notion that vaccines are responsible for autism stems from the media fuelled frenzy sparked by Andrew Wakefield's discredited, retracted and possibly fraudulent 12 child case study linking MMR to autism.
Vaccines are not 100% guaranteed to prevent a disease in everyone who is vaccinated. According to the Institute of Child Health:
After one dose of MMR, approximately 90-95% of children are protected against measles, over 95% against rubella, and 85-90% against mumps. After two doses, almost 100% of people will be protected against all three diseases. Because the diseases are so infectious, it is necessary to have very high levels of immunity in the population to control the diseases. It is only possible to do this, if children receive two doses of the vaccine. For this reason, almost all countries, recommend two doses of the vaccine. Those countries that have a high uptake of two doses of MMR vaccine have been most successful at eliminating the diseases
If everybody in a population is vaccinated, the chances of contracting the disease is near zero. But the more people in a population who do not get vaccinated, the more the whole population is jeopardized. Imagine a robust individual who is not vaccinated and gets mumps. Before his parents keep him home from school he infects half his classmates, some have been vaccinated and are not affected. Some have not been vaccinated and they get the mumps. Most recover. Maybe one of the non-vaccinated dies. There may also be a child who was vaccinated but who is not very robust and she gets infected by several people, some of whom have been vaccinated and some who have not. Both can be carriers of the virus. The weak but vaccinated girl dies.
Does this mean the vaccine doesn't work? No. It means that if some people don't get vaccinated they can jeopardize those who do. On the other hand, if most people have been vaccinated, those in the population who haven't been vaccinated benefit from the actions of the others and get protection against the disease without being vaccinated. If too many people take this free-ride approach, the group suffers.edit on 26/5/2011 by Griffo because: (no reason given)

If you decide to take the doctors advice he should be made to sign a form whereas he can be sued if any adverse reactions happen. It would be interesting to see how many would cheer vaccines then.

To a degree, yes. I agree that the whole flu vaccinations, and all of the other recent vaccinations, such as the cervical cancer one, mostly play into the money-making and fear scheme to which corporations and government are tied, but the vaccinations about which i am speaking are the ones necessary for school--such as MMR, and tetanus. These are usually offered FREE or nearly free, at health centers (at least where i live), and they are in place to prevent harm, they generally do not have adverse side effects, and they generally do more good than harm, even if they play into the power structure of the public school systems.
Fear = Cha-Ching. I agree.
Until all these crazy vaccinations become mandatory, i would not shy away from all vaccinations. Look at polio, smallpox even.
And i have no problem with MMR or tetanus, because they, along with polio, have done far more good than harm.
But when we have to start getting vaccinations to be treated in a hospital or something, or they require is to take every new vaccine that comes on the market, then i will be concerned.
You can't lump all into the same category.
