Not if you right that they can't sue.

they can sue, but its against a pool not an individual manufacturer, so there is no tort loss for a dangerous vaccine.

and it appears about 2 billion has been paid out.

This is potential for disaster.
I mean for once think of the kids, leave no child unvaccinated, even if their parents protest.
State vaccination program damnit.

Even if vaccination did cause Autism, which it has been repeatedly proven not to, I'd rather any kid of mine be Autistic than dead from polio.

And a global vaccination program brought smallpox to near extinction, if I remember correctly.

It's far more important that we eradicate deadly diseases. The refusal to get vaccinated doesn't just affect yourself.

Amazing a long dead thread awakening.

If you do not like that other people might decline to vaccinate stay inside.

So if someone causes a pox outbreak it is the victims fault?

If you do not like that other people might decide to mug you, stay inside. Seriously?

How would vaccines cause kids to get autism in the first place?

It's impossible.

It's impossible.

Whats impossible is that someone actually took the time to find this and revive it.

Anti-Vaxers would certainly have contributed, but:

OP article wrote:An estimated 84 percent of toddlers in the U.S. have received their complete course of vaccination. However, only 8 percent of adults are currently vaccinated.

"Our biggest work is to get adults immunized," said Dr. Mark Sawyer, chairman of the CDC's pertussis work group and professor of pediatrics at UCSD. "This is particularly relevant to pregnant women and new grandparents, who will have contact with infants."

EIGHT PERCENT of adults. I am absolutely certain that anti-vaxers do not make up 92% of adults.

I wonder how many people here in this thread don't have up-to-date Pertussis vaccination ...

The CDC specifies Tdap booster or catch-up at 11-12 years old, then again in adulthood starting at 19.

Then Td (tetanus and diptheria but not the pertussis) every ten years. I'm probably due for them myself.

Better to grave-dig than dig a grave so some baby too young to get their first DTap vax.

I see no reason why I must be punished for other's poor decisions.

Well by all means come outside, the chance of catching something is still slim.

I think that vaccinations should be mandatory. Public health and safety should not be overruled by stupidity.

I don't know how you found this thread, down at page 40 or wherever it was on General. But however you found it, you need to check the post dates before replying.

Maybe not the whole date, but the last digit at least. Is that too much too ask? It's 2014 now!

Jim Carry supports anti-vaccination...

If they don't wanna get vaccinated then let them deal with the consequences.

It were the parents who didn't want their children to be vaccinated... Why should the children suffer because of the stupid decisions of their parents?
