Yes, we wanted him vaccinated, but we did not agree with the government scheduling for them. I would definitely NOT be for some government bureaucrat, with no public accountability, forcing me to inject my son with very powerful medications before we thought that he was ready for them.

We believe that vaccines are essential and lifesaving, but my wife has seen some very strong negative reactions in children under 2 being vaccinated on the schedule currently called for in the US with some serious effects, over the years.

Should we put societal pressure on people to vaccinate their children? Shame them and avoid them? Absolutely.

Should we take away all rights of choice and force vaccinations at possible gunpoint? (since use of force is the ultimate backing of any government law), Absolutely not.
