Children get the flu. That makes it a childhood disease.we could keep them on-the-hook financially for any medical care needed to keep their kids alive. Thats what rw'ers claim to want anyway right?Not a bad point.Really?
I'm still not understanding this line of thinking, you're basically saying society has no duty to protect children who are too young to make wise decisions related to their health and safety from the occasional parent who is also not wise enough.
Like if I decided to lock my infant in the car all night outside the strip club since I didn't want go get a baby sitter you'd be okay with it?
I am torn on this. I think parents that refuse to vaccinate their children are misguided fools that get their information from non-credible sources.
But I also don't see forcing people to be vaccinated as a viable option.
So the compromise is to keep these people out of the public if the disease is very contagious, as is the case with measles.with their "let 'em die" war cry. Personal responsibility rw'ers.
You have to pay every thin dime out-of-pocket for any illness gotten due directly to lack of immunization
I would also include those that infect babies and cause their death.
If you cause someone else's baby to die because you didn't vaccinate your kid, you should be held liable for all costs the parents of the baby had to pay. They should also be prosecuted for killing an innocent baby.
This is a slippery slope.
I have never had a flu or pneumonia vaccine. If someone comes in contact with me, gets the flu and dies, am I responsible?
How would you prove cause and effect?
I'm not talking about the flu.
I'm talking about the measles, whooping cough, polio and other childhood diseases that most of us have been vaccinated for when we were young. When we were most susceptible to contracting it and dying.
Yes the flu does kill but it's really hard to pin point who you got it from. Unlike the diseases I listed above. It's usually easy to find out where a person was exposed to it because it's not something that's common to contract.
You made the conscience choice to not have a flu shot. You're an adult and have the right to make that choice for yourself. You also have an established immune system. However a baby doesn't make that choice. A baby can't make that choice. A baby can't get vaccinated for something if it's too young for the vaccination.
