I doubt it too.

Though similarly, chemicals can effect gene expression which can then travel vertically through generations for sure, but nothing statistically relevant or replicable for one-time vaccines.

My God...why are libertarians so fucking shitty at making analogies. So painful to read...

Yeah, although retroviruses can be passed down if they infect a sperm or egg cell.

Libertarianism should start and end with social issues, not economic or health issues.

Derp.

You'd rather they just toe the line and not question the validity of this issue? Even though I may disagree with their overall thoughts on their civic responsibility on this question. I'm thankful that there are people who question the orders put out by the government. Without dissonance in our acceptance of the decrees put out by the government we become compliant. And with compliance comes the loss of our liberty. Though I happen to agree with the law on this issue, there are many that I don't agree with and I'll yell and fight about them the same way. As should everyone on the issues that affect them. Rather than personal attacks and name calling. We need to be thankful for everyone who questions authority, and reminds us that we aren't lemmings racing blindly towards the cliff.

sure you do, its just a spectrum thing.

Letting your kid ride around a dirt bike at age 6 and people will call the kid a prodigy if he can ride and you a terrible parent if he gets hurt.

I was unaware however that unvaccinated kids are a danger to vaccinated kids so i redact my statement on that basis. However if its a disease where your lack of vaccination serves to only risk danger you you then you should be allowed not to get the vaccine.

I stated that i think 100% of parents should get their children vaccinated, but that doesnt mean it makes for good legislation. 100% of people should quit smoking but that doesnt mean im in favor of a smoking ban OR federal funding to help people quit smoking. If its help to quit heroin i get it but no need for public assistance in minorly damaging instances, vaccines included. Thats what societal peer pressure is for.

The thing that does bother me is it's not the parent who will be in peril it's the child's life that they are making their "point for liberty for."

The thing is if the kids are going to attend public school they have to produce a record of proper utd. vaccinations

If they tried and true vacs like the mumps, smallpox, etc. Yes I do.
If they are for the flu, no I don't.

Good video on why getting a flu shot helps even if the shot isn't very effective. Jist is that raising immunity of most people helps the flu burn out by giving it fewer chances to propagate. Since the flu, on average, gets spread to 1.2 people per person infected, even a 28% effective vaccine can be the difference between exponential infection and burn-out.
