You're going secular? Hm. I definitely didn't see that one coming.
lain:
You don't have to be secular to use grown-up logic. Even when it concerns the "magic kingdom."
lain: (But obviously, that's because of the plumbing, not the introduction of vaccinations).
Don't forget that people stopped the measles/polio/mumps parties. That would bring downt he infection rate.
Anyway, it's true the risk of getting measles is very low, and it's great you have so many folks getting vaccinated and helping you and your unvaccinated kids stay healthy.
They aren't. They are spreading deadly contagions because they think they are protected and protecting others via needle. There are millions of strains that could kill your loved ones. You can see them sniffling in the store, sneezing on your food, coughing on the old lady at church. They think a vaccine will protect, but they are busy being sick and contagious around vulnerable people.
My family practices disease prevention and containment, by contrast. It's like healthy food without antibiotics, that doesn't get sick needlessly and therefore doesn't live on drugs.
Very fortunate. Unfortunately, I have a member of my family who had a heart/lung transplant, and she certainly wishes that you and your family would get vaccinations.
Problem for me is that my family has immune disorders, too. My loved ones have reacted to vaccines but aren't registered with VEARS as such. My older sis got all her vaccines and as a result has a very spotty short-term memory, like that of a mild-mid Alzheimer's sufferer her whole life. She also has dyslexia and bowel-related autoimmune disorders. In fact, my whole family has autoimmune disorders. But nevermind
our safety... We better find medical exemptions, in your minds or else take the big risk.
Because of course, she has almost no immune system, so she can't get a vaccination, and she'd likely die if someone, like say your unvaccinated kids, gives her the measles while they're standing next to one another browsing through delicious veggies at the farmer's market. But that's nice you guys are so free and don't need vaccinations! Hooray!
If we come into contact with a contagious person and might get sick later, the last thing we would do is let our kids slobber away in front of produce or salad bars or in any place where they might unknowingly pass a danger to your dear loved one.
This is a new era of clean lifestyles and disease containment strategies. There are alternatives to vaccines. Let the free people take them, or deal with widespread panic and resistance to coercion.
