And what if your unvaccinated child contracted a disease and infected an infant...and that infant was one of the unlucky ones that died from the disease. Who would feel the guilt in that instance?
There is one difference between the two and one difference only. Freedom of choice. For some outside entity to be able to excuse the harm they may cause after forced vaccination destroys a family is a far cry from a mother who is doing everything she can to make the best choice for her child.

Happy that parents have a choice*, of course. Nobody is actually forced to vaccinate their children, you know, it is simply a requirement for being in certain public institutions.

If parents do not want to do vaccinate their kids they can 1) get an exemption to allow their unvaccinated kids to attend public school or 2) not put their kids in public school at all. They are free to homeschool or private school...but if they are going to utilize the government run educational system, they have to abide by the rules of that system.
Yea, unfortunately government rules just about everything in society, so what choice do we really have if we're going to be functioning members of society?

Experienced, authoritative help with vaccine exemptions and waivers throughout the U.S., for:

Parents - biological, adoptive, homeschoolers, custody disputes
Students - public and private schools, colleges, universities
Immigrants - individuals, families, foreign adoptions
Military - service members & families, civilian contractors
Employees - schools, daycares, hospitals, healthcare
International Travelers - vacationers, employees
Schools - public, private, homeschoolers, military
Agencies - healthcare, adoption
Attorneys - domestic, immigration, military, employment

I guess you didn't read the link I posted. There are vaccinated kids who also pose a risk because they are not fully protected, and there are non-vaccinated kids who have developed an immunity, so to blame the non-vaccinated kids for these outbreaks is misguided.

For a mother to be able to excuse the harm she may cause by claiming that she was simply making what she considered the best choice for her child is a far cry from the people, through their elected representatives, acting in a way that furthers the greatest good for the greatest number.

Dang, this unsupported pontification stuff is fun!

When it comes to vaccinations, the correct choice for almost all children is to receive vaccinations. There is even a US government program called "National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program" (National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program) because the government recognizes that vaccines may sometimes cause harm, but they are so very important for public health that the government insures against that possible harm.

So, yes, you can tell other parents what to do, because there is a correct answer, and the correct answer is to get your child vaccinated.
So very important to whom? Certainly not to the parent's of a child who died as a result.
And what of the parents who children have died or been disabled from whooping cough, measles, and meningitis because of a high rate of non vaccinated people in their communities? Herd immunity is the only protection for those too young to vaccinate, or those with compromised immune systems.

Quote:
There is no amount of money that can make up for a wrongful death of a child due to a vaccine that the government didn't know enough about, and forced on a family.
There is also no amount of money that can make up for a death due to disease. The baby in the article died of whooping cough. She was too young to be vaxed and she contracted it in her community. There have always been many more deaths due to these diseases than there have been due to vaccination reactions.

Additionally, millions of people are not vaccinating their kids, they are getting exemptions and/or delaying them, so it is mostly voluntary now. This has led to outbreaks and resurgence of these once almost eradicated diseases. So you got your wish....aren't you happy?
Quote:
Q: Can pertussis be prevented with vaccines?

A: Yes. Pertussis, or whooping cough, can be prevented with vaccines. Before pertussis vaccines became widely available in the 1940s, about 200,000 children got sick with it each year in the US and about 9,000 died as a result of the infection. Now we see about 10,000-25,000 cases reported each year and unfortunately about 10-20 deaths.

Pertussis vaccines are recommended for people of all ages. Infants and children should get 5 doses of DTaP for maximum protection. A dose is given at 2, 4 and 6 months, at 15 through 18 months, and again at 4 through 6 years. A booster dose of Tdap is given to preteens at 11 or 12 years of age.

Any adolescents or adults who didn't get Tdap as a preteen should get one dose. Getting Tdap is especially important for pregnant women and others who care for infants. You can get the Tdap booster dose no matter when you got your last regular tetanus booster shot (Td). Also, you need to get Tdap even if you were vaccinated as a child or have been sick with pertussis in the past.

Learn more about preventing pertussis.

Whooping cough can be deadly for babies. Learn how to protect them through vaccination. See this infographic.
Q: Why is the focus on protecting infants from pertussis?

A: Infants are at greatest risk for getting pertussis and then having severe complications from it, including death. About half of infants younger than 1 year old who get pertussis are hospitalized, and 1 or 2 in 100 hospitalized infants die.

There are two strategies to protect infants until they're old enough to receive vaccines and build their immunity against this disease.

First, vaccinate pregnant women with Tdap during each pregnancy, preferably at 27 through 36 weeks. By getting Tdap during pregnancy, mothers build antibodies that are transferred to the newborn, likely providing protection against pertussis in early life, before the baby can start getting DTaP vaccines at 2 months old. Tdap also protects mothers during delivery, making them less likely to transmit pertussis to their infants.

Second, make sure everyone around the infant is immunized. This includes parents, siblings, grandparents (including those 65 years and older), other family members, babysitters, etc. They should get the age-appropriate vaccine (DTaP or Tdap) at least two weeks before coming into close contact with the infant.
These are all things the parent should consider and then make an informed choice. There are babies who do not do well with the pertussis vaccine, and whether the parents want to take the risk should be their right. I'm not saying all vaccines are bad, but I certainly wouldn't want to be responsible for telling a parent what to do, for if something went wrong I would have no way of justifying my recommendation. I posted this link before.

Which responses do you feel demonstrate a lack of information, and on what basis did you conclude that they were uninformed?
Because all that I have heard in here is that they are troofers. No one has offered any proof that the Zeitgeist movement is anti-Semitic.
You didn't watch the first movie as suggested, which is the evidence of 9/11 Trutherism and Anti-Semitism, by way of the well known and venerable Jewish Financial Conspiracy Theory being supported.

Quote:
Various anti-Semitic 9/11 conspiracy theories sprang up in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks claiming that a Jewish or Israeli conspiracy was behind the attacks, or that the whole incident was faked in order to serve Jewish and Zionist interests. A common myth, spread by racist websites and chain emails, is that hundreds or even thousands of Jewish employees in the World Trade Center were forewarned of the attacks missed work on September 11th 2001.

Variations on these conspiracies that may not appear overtly anti-Semitic often have a latent anti-Semitism about them as the words "Illuminati," "New World Order," "international bankers," and "financiers" are Mad Libbed in for "Jews" and "international Jewry."
So, it seems you are the uninformed one, since you haven't investigated Zeitgeist at all, and those you claim were uniformed are, in fact, informed as they have investigated.
I'm still in the process of reading this, but it's interesting to note that the visionary of The Venus Project, Jacque Fresco, is Jewish.

Hey, dumb ass -- that would be you, peacegirl -- here's a picture of a child with smallpox, circa 1973 in Bangladesh. Capice, lardhead?



Smallpox has been eradicated from the world via vaccination. Got that, stupid?

But of course, Daddy Deadhead was against vaccination and so are you! Of course!

I noticed one of the links you posted was to an autism Web site. So you buy the discredited claim that vaccinations cause autism? Of course you do! After all, you think that if God turned on the sun at noon, people on earth would see it immediately, but not see their neighbors for eight and a half minutes.

All states have some form of vax exemption, some have several forms. All states have private schools, some of which may not require vaccinations. Homeschooling is legal to some degree in all states. Choices.

Good times, eh?

One can't help but wonder if anyone in need of medical attention suffered a serious injury or even died because of Granny Gasbag's little stunt. We'll never know, seeing as how Granny chose to waste the physician's time without regard to the consequences.

One thing is certain, though: Granny Gasbag didn't give a flying fuck about whether her idiotic stunt might cause serious harm. Cuz that's how sociopaths roll.

Why do parents have to give the government their reasons for why they don't want to vaccinate? This is not the government's business. That means that if they don't meet the exemption requirements, they are still coerced. I guess if they want it badly enough, parents will find a way.

I read the thread David, and there was nothing new said. They told you to stop talking to me if it bothers you so much. As far as the calculations, there is no proof that the space/time delay has any major consequence in trajectory or hitting the target. If there was, they would talk about it more, but they don't. I can't find anything other than that one page that LadyShea found which no one understood, including you.

I added those examples. They were mine, and what I said is true. In the new world vaccines will not be mandatory because no doctor or government agency will ever take the responsibility of telling someone what to inject in their children for fear something could go wrong, for which they would be excused. That does not mean people won't give their children vaccines if they believe the benefits outweigh the risks. Right now, the vaccine schedule is so overloaded and so close together that you can't even compare it to the vaccine schedule given just a generation ago.

This is a warning. If you dare talk about my father in this disrespectful way, don't expect me to talk to you again. You will be on ignore just like Maturin. I can't stomach you either. I don't care if there is no one left to talk to, I will not take the abuse anymore.

Peacegirl can't find it, so there isn't anything. But no-one understands it anyhow. It's beyond human understanding, even though NASA scientists figured it out and use it all the time.

So in the New World there will be no vaccinations and everyone will die out in a generation. I think I'll opt out, getting shot is quicker that dying of some lingering disease.

You do realize that when you lie, it can be checked by referring back to the source, right?

"They" said nothing of the kind. They expressed utter astonishment at your stupidity. One of them noted that because your father made these claims, it would probably be futile to disabuse you of your delusions, and suggested on those grounds alone that I stop trying to show you what was true. ALL of them expressed utter astonishment at the stupidity of the claim. Would you like me to copy and paste the entire thread here, to show what was actually said? I can do that, and will do it unless you retract your latest lie. :wave:

I understood it perfectly. It can easily be shown, mathematically, that if we pretended that the actual location of Mars in the sky were the same as its apparent location, all Mars probes would miss their target by a wide margin.

Do you know who Phil Plait is? Want me to e-mail you father's claims to him? :popcorn:

Also, why don't you e-mail NASA and ask them about this? Want me to do it for you? :wave:

Of course you will. It's what you come here for.

Of course there is. If Lessans were right, then adding a correction for light-speed delay would result in us missing the target because we would be aiming in the wrong place.

Why would they be talking about it more? It is not a point that any sane person doubts.

Unfortunately, it appears that the BAUT forum has been swallowed up by another astronomy forum, and a search of their archives, using all the key words I can think of, does not yield the thread in question.

No problem! I will simply start another thread. Here is the proposed OP:

"On the Internet, someone claims that if God turned on the sun at noon, people on earth would see it immediately, but not be able to see their neighbors until eight and a half minutes had passed. What is your opinion of this claim?"

Want me to start that thread, peacegirl?

Oh, i know! It doesn't matter what people who have devoted their lives to understanding these subjects say! All that matters is the maundering of a seventh-grade dropout, an aluminum siding salesman and a pool hustler! Why? Because, well, he just made astute observations that, unfortunately, bear no relation to reality.
