Does the Government have the right?

Does the Government have the right

     In 1905 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Jacobson verses Massachusetts that the need to protect the public health through compulsory smallpox vaccination out weighed the individuals right to privacy.  Here in the 20th century children are required to have a multitude of injections to be able to attend school.  Why was the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act established?  In 1986 this Vaccine Injury Act came about due to the amount of children who were being injured or killed by vaccinations.  They have paid out millions of dollars to families whose children were affected.  Vaccine companies have paid out two billion dollars in damages to parents in the United States. The CDC and FDA established a national reporting system in 1990 called (VAERS) Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System.  This data is collected and analyzed for adverse side effects that are associated with vaccines currently licensed in the United States.   Why doesn’t the public have a vote when it comes to our health and our bodies?  Isn’t the Government supposed to be working for the people not the Government telling the people what to do?  An Oregon legislator has proposed a bill to deny tax exemptions for children who are not vaccinated.

  1. I believe it is the parents right to choose for their children to be vaccinated or not. It is a slippery slope when the government tells us what we can do with out children. I don't think there is enough of a threat of exposure to warrant mandatory vaccinations. There is also mounting evidence that suggests a link between autism and vaccinations. Check out Jenny McCarthy's story with her son's vaccination nightmare, its really interesting.
