Millions innoculated, with a handful "MAYBE" of these types of side effects. As we all know, all drugs have side effects, and will harm a few people. Millions of lives saved, vs a handful of side effects? Well, I;ll take those odds every day. We all do, everytime we take a drug for our headaches.
This really isn't about whether or not "B" caused "A"....it's about getting the government out of our hair when it comes to decisions that PARENTS should make....and THAT was Bachman's primary message. And as far as the Tea Partiers go, they are just Constitution loving conservatives who want to take their country back....something you liberals are too dense to understand. And they will succeed! NOBAMA in 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As far as governmental intrusions, the last time I looked, we had not had any deaths from measles the last few years despite record numbers of cases (granted severely decreased numbers when compared to the pre-vaccine era) something England cannot claim due to Wakefield's chicanery. We can count polio cases on a hand and have fingers left over. Is this not worth it by letting the government in our hair? The reason many parents who refuse vaccines do so is because of herd immunity the chances of their precious kids getting vaccine-preventable diseases are almost nil. Stop vaccinating and there will be bills we cannot afford to pay. Several epidemics in the mid-west have been in non-vaccinating communities with hospitalizations resulting from measles. Again, luckily no deaths but that is just a matter of time here. One death is one too many.
