In response to The Forum's "Leafy Spurge" on parents who choose not to vaccinate:
Any vaccine is nothing more then a man-made product. Anything man-made, people have the choice not to believe in or subscribe to or believe in a false sense of protection where products are made from toxic chemicals and ingredients that by themselves you would not ingest.
Have you even looked on the CDC Web site for the ingredients in vaccines? Look it up and educate yourself before you preach to others who for religious, philosophical or moral reasons choose not to vaccinate.
This whole thing started out as a debate; whether or not parents should have to lie in order to keep from immunizing their children. But it turned into a full-blown hate fest against those who choose not to immunize for whatever their reasons may be. Should people have to lie? Of course not! Not all of them lie about it. Should they be forced to immunize? No! If this happens, we are no longer America the free.
I'm not saying that you should not vaccinate. I'm not saying that you should vaccinate. I am saying that vaccination is a choice. Vaccines do not "work" for everyone. They are not a one-size-fits-all.

They are a choice to be made freely by the educated and those who are willing to stand up for what they believe in, even if it means belittlement and bashing by others.
