People aren't making their own decisions when it comes to these specific vaccines. A child who doesn't get vaxxed isn't making that decision. But that child will sure as hell suffer the consequences.
Exactly, the moran vax deniers only believe they have rights and have no responsibilities to others. Nothing by spoiled brat whiners.
Probably used the same needle, too!
This was my reality going to elementary school in the 60s. How did we ever survive this authoritarian government?
They weren't. People stood in lines for polio shots when they were brand new... even after hundreds died from their shot when a manufacturer made an error. Took months to figure out the reason for the deaths and yet people were still lining up. Boy it's amazing that when a politician or two make this an issue... it becomes an issue.
And they had a sense of responsibility for their fellow citizens and weren't whiny self centered morans.
In 1985 we had three vaccine types. DTP, polio, and MMR, with coverage rates of 63%, 53%, and 61%, respectively. Oh those 80's, such carnage. I'm not sure how we ever made it out alive.
Did you get your data from this link?
There is a pretty significant jump in 1993. 88%, 78%, and 84% respectively.
Yeah that's about the time when vaccine uptake dramatically increased, and new types started appearing on the schedule. My initial post was about vaccine uptake in the mid 80's. Do you think the rates were higher outside of 2 yr olds in 1985?
LOL...purely coincidental that "vaccine uptake dramatically increased" the same year that they changed the way they collected data. Weird, huh?
Three year olds often attend preschools that require vaccinations. It makes sense to me that people who put off vaccinations would do so when it is necessary for enrollment. Why do you think it wouldn't have an effect to include 3 year olds?
This is false. Anti-vax group definitely was around in 1997. It was made up of people from all walks of life most notably and loudest were the celebrities who are not Republican. But there were people of all different groups so to stereotype an anti-vaxxer as one party or the other is wrong.
Of course it couldn't have been because of policies and the push to increase vaccination rates to go along with all the new vaccines they put on the market?
Your blame is misplaced. If any of the things that we vax for now with out an issue were to appear today for the first time, we would be in the exact same situation...That's not on the science providers.
How does it feel that she will be our governor until she no longer wants to be? You know that right?
It feels shitty. I want a real leader, not a MAGAt basing all of her decisions on sticking it to the libs.
Please. The repubs have been trying to dismantle the healthcare system for the worse since the Newt Gingerich era.
She sucks. She has solved none of our problems. All she has done is to play follow the leader with other crappy governors to manufacture strawman boogymen and knock those down instead.
Liberals have horrifically bad ideas on how to shape our country. And the good ideas you guys have, you seem to pick the most ignorant, convoluted ways of implementing them. A governor that does what her constituents would like her to do, what a concept.
Yes, if they would have been honest about the oversight of safety to begin with, we wouldn't be in this mess. The caring about safety ended when they took liability off the manufacturers. Of course it was Reagan who ultimately allowed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, but I think we can blame HHS and Congress for their outrageous lack of effort to ensure the Act's terms and conditions were followed.
I'd be curious to see your list of bad ideas and also good ideas D's have had in recent years.
Any teacher that was offended by rep Chapmans comments just proves their guilt. If you’re not inserting your own personal ignorance into the classrooms you teach, then that comment has nothing to do with you. Funny how it offended so many. If someone made comments about people being bad husbands or fathers would you be offended? I’m assuming not bc you would comprehend that it wasnt you in particular being targeted. And the defunding schools part is just as laughable, gone are the days where only rich people send their kids to private school. Most of us just want our children properly educated, it’s not a difficult concept.
LOL..so a "push to increase vaccination rates" is something nefarious now?.
Look at "all the new vaccines" added to that list in fifteen years!! Oh...and the HepB vaccine had been around since 1981 but was moved from the "at-risk" group to a general recommendation so select people had been getting it for more than a decade already.
