no where in the post did I say here were no side effects. The medicines you take for sat hypertension, or diabetes or anything have greater s/e than most vaccines and the doctor knows this and sometimes tells the patient. Would you not want to take these medicines? If not then as a physician I have to respect your right and ask for you to waiver and sign that you were told the pros and cons and that you denied to choose to use them. That way we could save our asses if someone came along 5 yrs later with their attorney saying you didnt tell me in full detail the pros ...so now the progress of disease is your negligence and we are going to sue your ass off....people do that.
what I am saying is that I DO understand your right to deny the vaccinations.....I may be a vegetarian but I will fight for your right to eat pork.....I hope I cleared that.
Yes I understand your concern with govt, lobbyists, and pharmaceutical companies making profit out of these which is wrong but who do you think should sell vaccines....as much as you hate regulations sometimes it is required b/c the companies would go berserk and start vaccinations for stuff we don't even need......sometime free market capitalism can be negative when there is greed involved when dealing with human life....regulations by the govt are required b/c the companies would start demanding fortunes for their services....unfortunately they are....
there are vaccines for stuff like HPV that is NOT mandatory but women at risk can use for cervical cancer...so its not like everything is mandatory and they are out to get you....

Re-read what I wrote..My statements were that most people who ardently want a right to choose have experienced adverse reactions...Not that you weren't acknowledging they occur, but that it causes a higher level of passion against these vaccines. Not only that but that the methods by which some of the vaccines are created directly conflict with many people's moral values. Yet we are forcing people to have these vaccines done, or face criminal repercussions.http://www.naturalnews.com/022242.html Do you know that the DFACS would love to use this as an avenue to badger parents for being neglectful?
As for the HPV vaccine, you are aware , being a doctor, that there is some heavy lobbying being done to have this mandated for children as young as 11, correct?? I am not seeing boogey men,I don't think people are out to get me, the government is corrupt, as well as medical institutions, and the pharmaceutical companies. There is collusion.
I haven't mentioned who should be selling the vaccines, I mentioned who should not be mandating their usage.
The choice should be up to the consumer. As the parent we are responsible for our children, and some of us disagree with the ethics of taking a life to possibly save a life and forcing potentially dangerous products into small children. We should be entitled to chosewhat is in the best interests of our children and ourselves as consumers. Fear mongering is how the government keeps the sheep in check. They do not want people to be "different". Lobbyists use the fear to make the consequences seem worse then not accepting these shots and the pharmaceutical companies reap huge rewards for an unnecessary shot.(such as chicken pox).
You stated:" but you guys forget some diseases are infectious and your irresponsibility might affect me...for eg if you contact TB b/c you were not vaccinated then I can contact that disease too....." I ask again when did TB become a mandatory vaccine?
You stated:"vaccines for hep b prevent contacting the disease hence preventing you from getting active and chronic disease, liver cirhosis or in later stages cancer...." Okay so we all take hep b vaccines now as a regimine for protection from this disease caused by having sex with an infected person without using a condom,sharing drug needles,having a tattoo or body piercing done with dirty tools that were used on someone else,getting pricked with a needle that has infected blood on it (health care workers can get hepatitis B this way),living with someone who has hepatitis B,sharing a toothbrush or razor with an infected person,or traveling to countries where hepatitis B is common. Hmm...every baby has to have this why????? Before they are 3 days old!!!
And the side effects for a shot to protect junkies and prostitutes that is routinely jammed into infants under penalty of neglect?? Let's see:"Common reactions to the hepatitis B vaccine among those who can communicate include headache, nausea, fever and fatigue oddly the same symptoms as the hard to catch disease.As for more serious side effects, the Hepatitis B vaccine has also been reported to cause a variety of immune and neurological health problems.There have been persistent reports of the vaccine being related to sudden infant death syndrome which is most likely to occur at 2 months, 4 month and 6 months exactly the same time as the hepatitis B vaccine series is often given.Other reports indicate such adverse reactions such as Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), transverse myelitis, optic neuritis, and multiple sclerosis as well as immune system dysfunction including chronic arthritis.Some speculations have also come about insisting on a connecting with Autism and the hepatitis B vaccine as well as several more on the recommended immunization schedule.
There has been an alarming number of newborn and infant deaths following the injecting of the hepatitis B vaccine."( from

I also noticed you glossed over the entire point I was making on the medical ethics of taking a life to possibly save lives.... This will not square with many people's ethics and yet the government can use this as a case for neglect.
