Political correctness again.

Right to die - good
Right to kill - ( abortion) good
Right to refuse vaccines for fear of health risks - d#mn thee to hell!

An individual who has no adverse medical reaction to vaccination, yet opts to not get vaccinated increases the risk of transmitting diseases to others who are unable to be vaccinated.

Individuals who exercise an option to terminate their own lives consentually or women who decide to terminate their pregnancies are exercising rights or priviledges granted by society.

An invidual who refuses to vaccinate, is avoiding a social responsibility.

On a side note. Many vaccines for children are now available in a mercury free dose. Unfortunately the flu shot is not.

The Flu shot is not really comparable to these other vaccines though.

Get vaccinated keep me employed
