As a vaccine apologist , you speak of past accomplishments and increased vaccination refusals while ignoring the realities that the current vaccination programs that went beyond the highly contagious diseases of the past centuries to vaccinate for lifestyle (e.g. hepatitis B and HPV), usually benign (e.g. chicknepox [herpes varicella zoster]), and partially covered (e.g., the pneumococcal, meningococcal, and human influenza vaccines) diseases without considering the reality that, collectively, these have created growing epidemics of chronic diseases.

You speak of the good and ignore the harm – shame on you.

You speak of refusal and ignore the right to chose and give informed consent, which is being trampled by the disinformation provided about diseases, vaccine risks and theoretical vaccine benefits by the very healthcare establishment of which you are so obviously a member.

If you or any reader seeks a fairer look at these realities, I would suggest that you all read the reviews of similar articles that are posted in the “Documents” section of http://mercury-freedrugs.org/, starting with “”A Review of: ‘As Diseases Make Comeback, Why Aren’t All Kids Vaccinated?’ Popular Mechanics Magazine on-line. Reynolds GH. (30 July 2008; 30 pages)”.

Hopefully, after reading these documents and checking the references cited, you will at least understand the hollowness of your world view and the iatrogenic harm that is being inflicted on many children.

As to the need for mandates for vaccines, Japan, a country with half our infant mortality, a significantly longer life expectancy, a much smaller and more supportable list of recommended vaccines that are freely provided, and a system where parents are free to vaccinate as and when they wish over an extended period of time, has no vaccination mandates and seems to be at least as free of communicable disease outbreaks as the US.

Finally, your position seems to be that we should vaccinate at any cost — monetary and colateral damge of chronic disease, maimed children and, in some cases, death.

This is a position that, as a previous commenter indicated, puts you clearly in the category of a lackey for today’s greed-driven “healthcare” establishment and those who supply the drugs and devices that fuel that greed.

PS: Lest any think otherwise, I am a proponent of safe and medically cost-effective vaccines. For example, if bitten by a rabid animal, I would not hesitate to get the rabies vaccine. However, I am opposed to vaccines that are NOT safe (and, based on the list of withdrawn vaccines, some are not safe), NOT truly effective (e.g., those vaccines that protect against only some of the circulating disease strains), and/or NOTin-use MEDICALLY cost-effective (e.g., the herpes varicella zoster vaccines, the rotavirus and HPV vaccines).

I applaud your way with words! Perfectly and truthfully said. Readers would benefit by googling-
