pd, we are encouraged to vaccinate against chicken pox. A fairly rare and inconsequential disease. All babies are vaccinated against Hep B at birth, regardless of the risk factors associated with their environment. Similarly, all schoolgirls are vaccinated against cervical cancer regardless of their level of sexual activity - and here is a vaccine rushed into service with no testing as to its effectiveness and the absolute minimum testing for safety.
But really, pd, the topic is far greater than a HotCopper thread.
W8, the only ones who need to get a grip are those who come out attacking others, with all guns blazing, because they will not blindly follow govt. policy. Some of these people in the official government pro-vaccination faction (and I am not referring to FW or Moby T - I've not met them) make Josef Mengele seem like a pet lamb with their attitude. They would willingly line up all unvaccinated children and babies to compulsorily inject them with toxic levels of chemicals for which no trials have been made for safety and effectiveness. They really would like the authority to round them up at gunpoint to perform the deed, as has been done in America. These people I have met and spoken to - or rather, have been spoken at by them. Discussion is not entertained.
