Freedom is the basis of all of this. Everyone, wether you believe in vaccines or not, should be airing on the side of Freedom. Giving any government this much control is far more dangerous than any disease. We are supposed to learn from history, not repeat it....yet that's exactly what's happening. Which side of history will YOU be on? What will you tell your grandchildren when they ask where you were and what you did during the destruction of a basic human rights? FREEDOM my friends..... FREEDOM!

Informed consent matters. Do you know what is in the vaccine? Do you know the vaccine only has an approximate 80% efficacy rate, well below the standard of the herd immunity theory? Do you know recently vaccinated can't be around immune compromised individuals? Health care workers should be patient advocates and NOT pharma marketers. No healthcare worker should be influencing the parent or patients choice. They are there to provide factual information and then the patient has medical autonomy to choose. No one should be forced to take a vaccine that carries the same risks as the illness AND a long list of other risks due to the adjuvants, biological materials, and chemicals in the vaccines. This is the link to the vaccine insert for MMR, I encourage anyone considering this vaccine to read it and research the ingredients. https://www.merck.com/product/usa/pi_circulars/m/mmr_ii/mmr_ii_pi.pdf

Prior to the development of the MMR vaccine, I had measles at 5 years old, in 1960, & nearly died. I developed severe pneumonia & was hospitalized for several weeks. At the time, children w/measles were isolated on the same hospital floor (in cribs) & the night the little girl across from me died (I figured it out seeing the loudly crying adults everywhere, doors slamming, crib being wheeled away) & no one shut my door. My point is that "natural immunity" isn't always best.
As an RN & advocate for children, I understand parents' fears & concerns but I also know for a fact that many (not all, I'm sure) of those parents only know the "awful things" that vaccines can cause (versus the awful things having those viruses can do) & have not looked at the good that they do, not only for their children's sake in the long run, but for the immune-compromised children including infants under 15 months of age that are at greater risk for complications which can include death. In addition to advising parents to read VAERS (vaccine adverse event reporting system), I would advise parents to read in depth about each infectious disease prevented by receiving the MMR vaccine separately & the consequences they may cause if any of those viruses were contracted.
I've heard the argument many times about non-immunized children being home-schooled so other children w/immune system deficiencies (leukemia, for example) won't be made ill but that's not always practical for those parents. It's not a win-win situation by any means.
This is a tough issue, clearly. We all want to protect our children, I still do & they're adults! But I urge all parents to give their due diligence to being thoroughly educated on this issue before deciding to merely follow the naysayers w/out questioning what all of the implications of choosing not to vaccinate could mean.

Bob clearly you don’t care about the kids that are at risk from getting the vaccinations what about their rights? Maybe you should check out VAERS and see just how “safe” they are? I bet yoh couldn’t tell me even 3 ingredients in one vaccine. You are clueless.

The measles aren't deadly unless you live in a country without proper sanitation and nutrition. Prior to the introduction of vaccinations in the US, it had a 99.99% survival rate. It is absolutely absurd to spread panic and fear over such a minor disease that responds fabulously to vitamin A. A handful of cases and no deaths can hardly compare to the countless deaths and injuries caused by vaccines.

Many parents have children who have had reactions to vaccines. We have had anaphylaxis and seizures as reactions. Medications and drugs aren’t one size fits all and when there’s a risk there always must be a choice. You can’t mandate a liability free product ( did you know that you can’t sue the vaccine makers if your child or yourself end up dying or becoming severely ill as a post vaccine reaction.)

My son was vaccine injured many years ago. This vaccine, is not safe for everyone

I find it interesting that I never heard of a single childhood death due to measles before the drug companies developed a vaccine. When I was a kid measles was just something that every one got once and missed a couple of weeks of school. Now if more than 10 children get measles in a state of several million all of a sudden the CDC goes into panic mode. Of course since the CDC is controlled by the drug companies that make millions on shots they are actually the ones causing the sensationalism and pushing for everyone to get shots. Not only that as with most diseases if you actually get the disease you are much more immune to ever getting it again than with the artificial shots. Everyone I know who had the childhood diseases naturally got over them with no lasting effects.

If vaccines were indeed safe, why are their immune compromised children that can’t receive vaccines, along with people worried that unvaccinated children will somehow give a virus that they were never vaccinated for, so it isn’t in their system... however a child that was vaccinated for the virus has it in theirs already? Why are we so worried about it? If vaccines truly worked, your vaccinated child would be safe and sound, but they do not work and the only thing they do is cause issues such as Childhood Asthma, Ear infections, skin conditions, Autoimmune disorders, Autism/SIDS/oftentimes I hear way too many stories of my child received their shots 24/36/72 hours before their death. Who wants to go through that? Or risk your child dying because you vaccinated? Personally we should have personal exemption or their will be many more lawsuits in our future from preventative deaths. Just like abortion and having the right to choose, we need our right to vaccinate or not because of safety reasons, personal belief systems and in general.

As of March 31, 2018, there have been more than 89,355 reports of measles vaccine reactions, hospitalizations, injuries and deaths following measles vaccinations made to the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS), including 445 related deaths, 6,196 hospitalizations, and 1,657 related disabilities. Over 60% of those adverse events occurred in children three years old and under. Adverse events following MMR vaccination reported to VAERS include:
lupus (autoimmune connective tissue disorder);
Guillain-Barre syndrome (inflammation of the nerves);
Encephalitis;
aseptic meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain);
deafness;
cardiomyopathy (weakening of the heart muscle);
hypotonic-hyporesponsive episodes (collapse/shock);
convulsions;
subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE);
ataxia (loss of ability to coordinate muscle movements);
parathesia (numbness, burning, prickling, itching, tingling skins sensation indicating nerve irritation)
Transverse Myelitis
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM)
Vaccines are clearly NOT safe!!

Putting children at risk is cruel, dangerous & irresponsible. Every parent needs to get educated and protect our children! Vaccinations are safe!
