      Not quite. Antivaxxers compare their "struggle" to the civil rights movement, which was a fight for equal rights based on race. None of us can control what race we are born into. Antivaxxers, OTOH, are making a CHOICE, and they don't want to face consequences for their choice. 1/https://twitter.com/joshbucky/status/1197388544299261952 …

      Is it that hard to comprehend that freedom for a citizen includes choosing what is or is not injected into their body? By definition it absolutely is a civil rights fight. pic.twitter.com/rLeQYqJWTF

      It's more than that. Adults already have the right to refuse vaccines—or any medical intervention, for that matter—as long as they understand the consequences. Children, however, are autonomous beings with rights of their own, among them the right not to be medically neglected.2/

      Antivaxers speak as though they view their children as their property, to do with as they please. It's always about THEIR choice, THEIR bodies ("my body, my choice" said about their children and vaccines), THEIR rights, never about the rights of their children. 3/

          The bottom line is that children have a right to proper medical treatment, including recommended preventative care like vaccines. Barring a legitimate medical contraindication to vaccination, not vaccinating them IS medical neglect. 4/4

          Well you do have a point since we really live in US incorporated and are owned by the Corporations. Your kids belong to the Corporations they just let you think they are yours, this includes your kids too Mr. Gorski, keep that in mind when you run afoul of US inc.

          So are you going to be caring for these individuals if they are by chance injured by a vaccine forced on them?

          Proper medical protocol changes constantly and differs from one practitioner to another. Should we have allowed bleeding? What about mercury dental fillings? We are not property of the state and medical ethics requires that the individual consent to the procedure.

          You should leave this topic to a lawyer, this statement is highly problematic. For thought: How many children died of medical error just this week?

          Parents will make the decisions for their children - thanks - not big pharma shills or medical Eurocrats At least in the U.S. this shall be determined by the 1st and/or 2nd Amendment as required.

          Ironic, seeing as our babies can’t scream ‘Mummy, why couldn’t you contract measles naturally in your childhood when it’s mildest, so you could protect me in my infanthood at it’s most dangerous’ 😔

          It doesn’t work this way. You may pass some immunity to your baby, but it lasts for just a few months. Your baby needs a vaccine for immunity. Measles is awful

          the genetics that determine race are comparable to the genetics that determine susceptibility to vaccine harm. the increased risk of autism in black boys exposed by Dr William Thompson is a prime example. #VaccineRacism

          Wait, are you paying for my child’s food, clothing, housing, medical and college education? When you assume the financial burden of my child then you can also decide what is injected into their bodies. Until then I will do my job and keep them safe and healthy without vaccines.

          The more unvaccinated children there are, the more the financial burden becomes on your health insurance. You thought of that, right?
