But when people are sending their kids to schools and daycare without vaccinations that is sending us down a dangerous path that we don't have to be on.

Is banning them too much? Too extreme?
Yes. I generally oppose most vaccinations [for me], but there is no quantitative difference between banning vaccination and mandatory vaccination.
Both are equally nonsense because both are extreme. If someone wishes to be vaccinated, good for them. If someone wishes not to be vaccinated, good for them too.

Just wondering, if history were changed to never having mass vaccination programs what do you believe the outcome would have been in the United States? Do you agree or disagree that overall more deaths and disability due to diseases such as polio, smallpox, measles, etc. would have occurred versus death and disability due to vaccines? I am over fifty years old, was vaccinated in childhood, and have suffered no ill effects and am thankful for the advances in medicine. I do not personally know anyone who had adverse effects from a vaccine, but quite the contrary I do know that family members and an uncle of my husband suffered permanent disability from polio.
If we stopped vaccinating, how long, in your opinion will it be before the diseases make a comeback in the United States. Do you want this to occur?

Polio and tetanus gave me the immune system of Captain America.

I'm slightly confused. Has anyone considered that the reason Government's might want to push vaccines is that it prevents individuals from developing debilitating illnesses and incurring massive healthcare costs on that basis?
Can you not see why Government's might want to keep their pennies in the pockets - a vaccination is a lot cheaper than long-term rehabilitation, including physical therapy, braces, corrective shoes and, in some cases, orthopedic surgery?
Or does that make too much sense?
Vaccines may not be 100% effective and may indeed have side effects - but I would rather take my chances of a vaccine than be completely irrational and expose myself to the risk of diseases that until recently have killed and maimed hundreds of thousands of people each year.

so what about all the people that have been vaccinated and have never had any problems? Didn't think that far ahead did ya? As one other poster said just because you're a delusional d-bag that means a life saving vaccince should be eliminated? show me one piece of scientific evidence that vaccines cause any of the problems you claim..from real scientist not a buncha arm-chair wannabes..edit on 24-4-2012 by alkesh because: (no reason given)

Well, another member posted this a while back about vaccines and autism. Of course I don't know how accurate it is, but I guess people can look into that themselves if they want to.

Penn and Teller use false data to prove their points, they are shills who have been paid big money to make this. What you have to keep in mind is that vaccine damage is not properly tracked, we would need to be tracking at least 60 days after vaccine administration to be able to see what's really going on. They don't track this as tracking vaccine damage loses money by scaring people off and creating compensation claims.
It's far better for Big Pharma to say "Cot death is a Big Mystery" or "Cancer, we need fundraising to help us, we're scratching our heads here"..."Autism is Genetic" (what they mean is that it's genetic that if some certain people are vaccinated they go autistic; they are economical with the truth)
