Mom Whose Daughter Has Cancer Wants All Parents To Hear Her Emotional Message On Vaccination
The peak of flu season is upon us, which means doctors will be urging the public to get their vaccines, and, as we know, along with the push to get shots will come the anti-vaxxers with fake facts. Last year the Center for Disease Control reported 183 influenza-associated pediatric deaths and one already this year. Despite the data that backs up the antidotes for vaccine-preventable diseases, there are still people who refuse to vaccinate their kids and they are not only putting their own children at risk but others as well.

I don't give a F about religious freedom when it comes to vaccinating kids... the rest of the nation needs to follow California in making vaccination of children mandatory. See California SB 277...

It's mandatory in other states as well, but there are always people that lie or work around it.

My two cents: Texas Education Agency (TEA) requires all kids to be vaccinated PRIOR to being allowed to enroll. Texas colleges require it was well up to age 25. So if your kid isn't vaccinated that tells me you can afford to home school them or send them to some private school that doesn't require it. If you have that financial ability, you should be required to pay into a child care fund for sick children because you're the direct reason why certain diseases haven't been eradicated yet.

Something that's always puzzled me? Lots of people say things like xyz had a bad reaction/was injured by vaccines therefore I won't have any. However almost everyone knows someone (or is that person) that has been in or involved in a car accident. Yet people aren't anti driving. I know they are not the same thing by a long way but my point is that people only apply their point in one scenario

I know a closer example, medication. How many people do you know that is allergic to a med? They get a bad reaction does that mean you're not going to take it? Some people can't tolerate some medications does that mean you're not going to take them? Unfortunately the anti-vaccine argument has no logic to it.
