    This is one of those issues that I have trouble keeping cool about. It once again shows me how other people want to take over raising the children from the parents. I have chosen it vaccinate my children but if other parents chose not to I feel that is their choice as parents.
  •  
    I think it shouldn't be mandatory for parents to vaccinate their children. Every parent has their beliefs and doubts when it comes to medications.
  •  
    I understand that children's health is at risk but most parents accept vaccinations for their children. This means that a majority of the population has protection against these diseases and an outbreak is unlikely to happen even for those children who are not vaccinated. Ultimately, it should be the parents' decision whether or not they want vaccinations for their children.

    a parent should always have a say in what medically happens to their child. what if they are allergic to the vaccine or other issues

    I think it is absurd and over steps the bounds of a parents decision in proper rearing of a child. I myself had no vaccinations up until I worked for a hospital before I was 20. At that point it was mandatory that I have the injections or find another place of employment. It was my choice then and I do appreciate my parents leaving it up to me to decide what is put into my body. With all the recent cross contamination's and impure batches I can understand the concern of giving a small child these shots.

    I think agree with destini, if we have talking about personal freedoms in all of these assignment then the individual should get to choose what they want to do. If a parent does it for them, then it was never a choice in the first place.

    Young children can not make the decision themselves. That right is the given the parents that conceived them.

Children Who Are Not Vaccinated Never Get Autism! - 0 views

  •  
    This article provides information on a medical practice in Chicago that does not require vaccinations for the children the care for. They state that none of their patients have Autism and only one child has Asthma. They compare their patients and the children of the Amish in rural Lancaster who also have never been vaccinated. Although federal health authorities dismiss the argument that vaccines can cause Autism it is hard to overlook the fact that children who are not vaccinated do not develop Autism.

    Dr. Bob Sears writes about his thoughts on California Bill AB2109 and his fear that Dr.'s will refuse to sign the required form for thier patients vaccination exemption. He feels this way because he says some Dr.'s will force their own feelings about required vaccines on their patients or won't sign because of liability issuse. Those children who are unable to get the required signature will not be admitted to school and it will affect their education.

    Vaccines are injection into the fatty tissue of the body, they have the same antigens as if it was the actually disease. Though the antigens that are injected are not as strong as the actually disease. The objective is to produce antigens to protect immune system. The body will then attack the antigens to produce antibodies to fight against the real disease if it presents itself.
