"Whether you're pro-vaccine, anti-vaccine, or fall somewhere in
the middle, the questions you need to ask yourselves are as follows:
Do you want to live in a world, where you cannot freely refuse a
medical procedure that carries risk of injury or death? I'm not
questioning your comfort level with today's vaccine schedule, because
today's vaccine schedule will change. New vaccines and additional doses
are added all the time. children today receive as many as 49 doses of 14
vaccines before they reach age six, which is roughly 12 times higher
than the number of vaccines administered to children back in 1940. With
more than 220 new vaccines in the developmental pipeline for children
and adults...and no end in sight..the question you must ask yourself is
ARE YOU CERTAIN you will be 100% comfortable with vaccines that are
added to the mandated list in the future?
If you say that yes, you're comfortable, then you're either
a) not expecting to be a parent or grandparent,
b) don't have to worry about it because your kids are grown and out of the house, or
c) lying to prove a point.
No critical thinker, no honest person, would ever sign off on the
sight-unseen vaccine schedule of the future. And yet that's what you're
doing when you condemn the people who are fighting for your right to
refuse. YOU have the right to refuse, should you ever choose to use it,
because the very "anti-vaccine" people you demonize have been fighting
for us all.
Right now, the burden of "herd immunity" falls on
small children, but that is changing. Vaccine manufacturers see an
untapped market in adult vaccines and are coming for you next. What will
you do if your state, your employer, or your insurance company forces
you to get a vaccine that you simply don't want? It hasn't happened to
you yet, but if the right to refuse is eroded, it will happen to you
sooner than you might think. Who then will you turn to? Your legislators
who get campaign donations from pharmaceutical companies? The CDC that
has former pharma executives sitting on the board? Who will you turn to
if you ever want to say no? There will be no one.
Once we enter
the slippery slope of removing and individual's right to refuse medical
procedures that carry a risk of injury or death, once we remove an
individual's right to speak for him/herself and his/her children, we
open ourselves up to an insidious new era, where other drugs and other
procedures can be mandated. I heard (on NPR, interestingly enough) that
there are people who want to test for a gene marker that's been found in
mass shooters in the hopes that they can put the carriers of that gene
on medications in early childhood. Sounds great, right? But many of us
carry genes that will never be expressed. You could be a carrier of that
gene. Or your child could be a carrier. So if we follow the "for the
greater good" mentality behind vaccines (or the Nazi's "for the greater
good" mentality behind eugenics (breeding out illness), we are looking
at forcing people who may never express a sociopathic gene to take
antipsychotics, just in case. Because that's what forced vaccination
does. It asks children who may never come into contact with a particular
virus to accept a vaccine just in case. And that's what eugenics was
all about. It sterilizes people who can pass on a genetic disease just
in case. Forced vaccination is a human rights violation, and to support
it when you know that the government's own Vaccine Adverse Events
Reporting System exists and lists people who have died as a result of
vaccines is unethical at best, sociopathic at worst.
The ethical
thing to do is to allow people their right to refuse and leave it up to
doctors and big pharma (who have marketing budgets larger than the GDP
of some countries) to do a better job of convincing parents that
vaccines are safe. We can start by reversing the law that grants vaccine
manufacturers total immunity from vaccine injury lawsuits. Because as
it stands, you can't sue a vaccine manufacturer if your child is injured
or killed by a vaccine, even in cases where they could've made a safer
vaccine and chose not to or when they failed to recall a contaminated
lot# in a timely manner. Think about that. You can't sue the
manufacturer. That immunity from liability does more to shake parents'
confidence in vaccines than anything else out there."
