In response to the recent House Bill that was passed in Texas allowing parents the right to make a conscientious objection to vaccinations, a news article quoted several doctors who were upset with this bill. Mainly, they believe that vaccines are one of the biggest breakthroughs in modern medicine. Here's the take on it from one of the doctors interviewed..
Now, how are his children at risk from nonvaxed children? He just said they are protected if they come into contact with nonvaxed people. Talk about misinformation. And he's speaking as if those who are not vaxed walk around full of all the diseases that kids get vaxed for. WTF??? 
It's so amazing how many doctors don't have all the hard facts about what vaccines can do. And it sickens me how easily they can perpetuate fear in those parents who don't trust their own judgment.
Oh the frustration....

| Dr. Tom Spurgat, medical director of the Christus Santa Rosa Children's Hospital, called the move a "huge mistake." He noted that vaccines not only prevent disease in people who receive them, but they also protect those who come into contact with unvaccinated people. Spurgat said parents who don't want their children vaccinated because of conscientious objections often are victims of unscientific information that serves as a scare tactic against immunizations. "It's a shame these people are operating off so much misinformation," he said. "They're putting their children at risk and they're putting my children at risk." |

Didn't do me any good all those years. What, he thinks they put it in there like the vitamin-enriched orange juice and the folic acid enriched flour? Yeesh.
