Considering that the decision was made LONG before this thread was started, nobody can claim they talked us out of it.
The Gardasil thread, silly.

I revived the Gardasil thread. He can answer there.
A NSW couple are tonight in hiding after hospital doctors and the Department of Community Services took out a court order insisting that their baby, who is now only 48 hours old, be vaccinated against Hep B. Steven and Cassandra* are the proud parents of baby Jonathan, born in Sydney on Tuesday this week. Cassandra had tested positive for Hep B several years ago and so, before leaving hospital with their newborn, she was advised to give the baby a Hep B vaccination. Having done her research, she believed that her child was at greater risk from the vaccine than from Hep B. She refused the shot as did her husband. After all, vaccination is not compulsory in Australia.
Does this constitute an abuse of force?http://www.rense.com/general83/ozc.htm
Is this forcing vaccination, or what?
Can't we all agree that this particular situation is a wrong use of force?
So you admit to a double standard where force is involved. Force is okay when it is used to enforce that which you value but is immoral when used to enforce that which you disagree with.Do you see the difference between a healthy child and one needing a lifesaving pint of blood?

I was curious about her consistency on the use of force. It is not a consistent position that she holds. In short, the use of a court order to force a vaccination over the parents objections is no different than a court order to force a transfusion over the parents objections. Parents either have the right to manage their childrens health care in all situations or they do not.No. She asked you two questions you didn't answer.

This article is an example of a child with a extremely rare and unusual immunodeficiency that even more unusually wasn't detected prior to the vaccine. It is not evidence of a significant problem with the vaccine.
The risk of such a serious adverse event must be balanced by the rarity of such an event and the overwhelming evidence supporting the efficacy of the vaccine in reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with measles. It is significant that our patient was found to suffer from a profound deficiency of CD8 cells as well as dysgammaglobulinemia, which were not suspected clinically at the time of vaccination. Most significant primary immunodeficiency states in children will be detected before the age of MMR vaccination, and for such children live virus vaccines should be avoided. Clearly, a serious outcome such as occurred for this patient is an exceedingly rare event, and this report should not lead to changes in current immunization practices. |
O... K..... your counter example is another area where the evidence is strongly in favour of the current practice (pasteurisation) and a fringe group claiming it is evil....But there is no consensus. This is not like arguing the world is round. This is like arguing that pasteurization is the path to healthy milk for children, not healthy cows and sanitary milk processing conditions.
A few hundred among professions that collectively number in many millions. Meanwhile the remainder get on with publishing research about how best to apply vaccines, create policies within organisations and health departments and then go out and implement it.You are talking about hundreds of public medical figures at odds with the consensus (one count was a list of 300), as well as thousands additionally who privately oppose vaccines.
Vaccines make a up a quite small fraction of pharmaceutical companies income. Far too little to warrant a global conspiracy and manipulation on the scale you claim.And consider which side of the controversy the money of pharmaceutical companies falls on.
Are you referring to the Chicago Tylenol Murders? If so it doesn't sound like an example that has much to do with our topic or is that historically significant (other than leading to tamper-proof products).We know these same companies are guilty of intentional and negligent contamination of products, such as in the case of Tylenol.
But health departments and governments DO have a financial interest in it if your claims are true. Because if vaccines are as bad and useless as you claim then they are not only wasting money they are also causing costs as well. Surprisingly there are no developed nation health departments that I am aware of that share your concerns.They have no commercial interest in a moratorium on any type of vaccine, regardless of its risk to the population.
What on earth are you talking about? "Destroying religions"?If that is the case, then we must protect the individual children at risk from vaccines, as well as those from different cultures. Destroying religions in the name of vaccines is also unacceptable. You can't just do away with one of the oldest mainstream religions in the name of controlling viruses you don't fully understand.
And this is why our discussions on this topic always come back to whether vaccines are safe or not. Ultimately that is the root of our disagreement and the root of each of our positions on vaccine programs for children.Then I guess we should push to ban vaccines. You fanatics are abusing your children with poison in the name of your unrealistic, presumptuous medical idealism.

I think the article itself says it best:

Her position is consistent. Had you answered her questions you might have realized that.
One treatment is considered preventative and the other emergency; hence, the reason for 1PeaceMaker's question to you.
If they don't have the right to refuse elective, preventive treatments that have risks of serious complications and death, it's medical tyranny.
I simply find it interesting that you oppose the use of force in some cases while supporting it in other cases.The child was not in danger over the short delay to do research. The shots bring a danger, even if a small risk, that the parents could legally reject.
Do you want parents stripped of their legal rights without changing the laws that protect them? Will you just say it's okay when the State and medical powers break the law like this?

It is consistent within her paradigm, it is not logically consistent.Her position is consistent. Had you answered her questions you might have realized that.
Why does a person with strong religious convictions regarding certain health care procedures lose the right to live according to those convictions in an emergency situation?One treatment is considered preventative and the other emergency; hence, the reason for 1PeaceMaker's question to you.
There is a greater risk of death and injury by not being vaccinated than from the vaccination itself. If the state can force a transfusion as a life saving measure, why can't it also force a vaccination as life saving measure?If they don't have the right to refuse elective, preventive treatments that have risks of serious complications and death, it's medical tyranny.

FYI healthy cows and good hygiene only reduces the risk of contamination of milk,
it does not completely sufficiently eliminate its risk given the enourmous number of potential points it can occur (and the great growth medium the milk is).
