Your thoughts ....

I was this morning having an internal debate on this... I'm totally divided. I get the constitutional state rights debate, but it is also the state who runs with the cost of facing epidemics... We definitely don't live in an island. I guess it is and will be a centuries old debate, how much the government/society has to intervene in personal lives.

But at the end, I'm with Joe on this.

Oh, and that whole autism argument... it's BS....my wife is a pharmacist and a chemist...she understands the science not the television hype...our kids get shots.

Yup. I don't need any law to get tenths of vaccinations for my dog when the law only requests one. My kid gets all the shots (when the risk is balanced to the benefits). You just have to educate yourself. But that's not the average person. The average person would almost belief that autism is a new conditions and ADHD an invented thing to sell drugs. Both have existed forever. It's the drugs/diagnoses what is in the hype.
