At this point? I would ban all non-vaccinated kids from public schools starting tomorrow morning.

After that I would start looking at how creating some laws that allow businesses to legally say if you're not vaccinated, they do haven't to serve you. Start a trend.

Not vaccinating your kids should be against the law. CPS should get involved and the parents should be forced into taking classes or something. Failing that, if they refuse, fines and/or jail time for willfully endangering public health. This whole 'debate' is fricken ridiculous. It literally makes me lose faith in humanity that this is even a thing.

A friend of our family has a 3 year old with a heart defect. He's gone in for multiple surgeries, he's basically hanging on by a thread. He CAN'T get vaccinations at this point due to said health reasons. How is it fair that he could be potentially exposed to a deadly disease that's been eliminated from our shores for decades because some people are brain dead troglodytes who think they know better than modern medical science?

Completely f'n ridiculous.

Uggh, a woman in Iceland posted this, she lost her child a year ago and she had all kinds of issues, she doesn't blame vaccines but has taken a strong stand against them.

I love how this person would rather believe a graphic they "found on the internet" then actual published scientific studies also found on said internet, maybe reading is just too hard and all future studies on vaccinations should be released purely in graphical form.

My grandmother was a very wise woman and she once told me something I find more and more true every day, you can't fix stupid.

I'm beginning to hate the internet for it's ability to allow ignorant people to congregate together and form a critical mass of stupidity sucking other people into their well of sucktitude.

This reminds me, I should probably check if I should get vaccinated again for something.

In other science that people should really take more seriously, people really should wash their hands more.

Just try it. Make a habit of washing your hands when you come home, and every time you are about to cook or eat something, and most likely you will notice a difference in how often you get sick. And once you notice that, it's a habit that you won't stop.

(Especially if you have kids you really notice the difference.)

Anti-Vaccine Doctor: I Don't Care If My Kids Make Others Gravely Sick (VIDEO)

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewir...doctor-measles

Is this for real, or satire?


http://healthimpactnews.com/2015/ari...-and-vaccines/

I recently did an interview which was aired on NBC Phoenix. I was asked my opinion on vaccinations in response to the current measles outbreaks that have occurred at Disneyland in California. My reply has generated quite a bit of anger in thousands of people.

There has also been a tremendous amount of support to my comments and opinions. In short, The Society Against Injecting Our Kids With Chemicals (TSAIOKWC for short) has a lot of followers.

I want to address all this misguided anger


[Count the Straw-men!]

He is known as The Paleo Cardiologist and The Natural Cardiologist.

Has there been a response from the American Medical Association?

It would seem to me that this is exactly what the organization should address.

The CNN interviewer asked Wolfson repeatedly if he could live with himself if his unvaccinated child got other children, like Sacks' daughter, fatally sick.

“I could live with myself easily. It’s an unfortunate thing that people die, but people die.



EDIT: Frack, there is even more stupid crap from him


The doctor said that children should not avoid getting infections such as measels and mumps. "These are the rights of our children to get it," he told KPNX.

"As far as I’m concerned, it’s very likely that her leukemia is from vaccinations in the first place," Wolfson said.

I don't know how someone doesn't wash their hands often. I work in a salon, I deal with a bunch of different clients. I wash before and after each client, I wash before/after eating, after using the restroom. At work alone I probably wash my hands 2-3 times an hour or more, depending on the day. (Plus I'm shampooing hair regularly, so that's even more washing away of germs)

My skin is ridiculously dry all winter, but I'll be damned if my hands aren't going to be as clean as possible.

From an immuncompromised person, thank-you. I know most people who don't get the flu shot aren't intentionally trying to create a more hazardous world for me to live in, but the impact of your actions and not the intentions behind them are what matter the most to the people around you.
