it's like the flu shot... we are almost forced to get it or our lives are made hell

at the hospital that is

either murder is wrong or murder is wrong*

and i dont want the flu shot

Getting a flu shot is not the same as taking a life.

There are significantly different moral implications

^^^

One is unpleasant, the other is murder

it's still a decision i should be able to make without serious ramifications such as losing my license and job

hey im all for vaccines. they are useful

Yes, we agree. They shouldn't have had their job held over that decision

i have rights. so why cant we fight for rights instead of laying down and quitting

giant meteor 2020 lol

because your "rights" do not transcend another human's right to live

Jobs aren't rights, either

yup

anywho

gn my fellow despisers of israel

night

For real, this is awesome. Being able to discuss things without getting swamped with insults. Thank you guys

do you think kids should get vaccines if they are in close contact with other kids?

I don't know. I dislike that kids are subject to the judgement of their parents over medical issues.

And that religion can be used as grounds to make unhealthy decisions for their health.

Such as vaccination or blood donation.

Should a parent be allowed to refuse a life saving blood transfusion for their child?

no

Should parents be allowed to refuse vaccination for fatal diseases?

def not

I think facilities in which children are not required to be vaccinated should inform all of the parents so a reasonable decision can be made.

especially with measals making a comeback

I can't believe it's measles!

imagine telling your son that he wont be able to reproduce cause his testicles have swollen up

But at least he doesn't have autism!

bah

These people

ugh its pretty stupid

as someone with a bio degree that can actually read academic research papers, it makes me want to bang my head against a wall

like that dr was discredited so many times. come on

A friend of mine told me recently that his daughter isn't vaccinated. She's 8. That poor girl. Never had a single vaccine. His reasoning? His first daughter was vaccinated and she gets sick a lot, so he doesn't want his youngest to get them.

I mean, there's tons of factors at play. They have different genetics, are exposed to different environments and children, etc. There are so many factors that would make the oldest get sick more often. But it's anecdotal experience that's shaping his opinion.

That's awesome you have a bio degree.

lol kids get sick so easy
