Whatever you believe regarding vaccination, it's a personal choice and should not be dictated or enforced upon others (regardless if you deem their beliefs as "irrational"). Furthermore, talking heads like [douche bag] Maher and [douche bag] Shermer provide biased information, as do many websites packed with disinformation, even when disguised with "randomized, double-blinded, blah-blah-blah studies". Be critical in your approach to all information, from both sides, and make a decision for yourself.... not parroting some douche bag.

That was my point throughout this entire long winded debacle.

I know, I was only reiterating the point. I also wanted to mention how Avatar is the shettiest movie ever made

Sure, it's a choice, but if you want to be out around people or in public school it should be required. Read up on herd immunity. Your decision shouldn't kill someone else's child. We shouldn't have to force people to do anything. They should follow their doctor's advice, not a has-been playboy xxxx. Why should we have to require people to do what's best for their child and our communities as a whole?

Personally, I wouldn't let my children play with other kids who aren't vaccinated. I'm certainly on board with schools requiring it. You still have a choice though... you don't have to enroll your children; you can home school.

i couldn't agree more. and, i'm very familiar with herd immunity, which is the complete opposite of herd vaccinopathy - vaccination is not immunization. i closely know two families that home school their children due to required immunizations, as well as a failing education system. all of these children are very healthy, as well as bright and well-rounded. when i have children, i will do the same.

School is just a day time baby sitter... you have to teach your kids what you want them to learn at home and discipline them as well since schools can't do either. And you can feed them peanut butter at home.
