      And Mr. Coleman has that right as an adult. However, children are not an extension of their parents' bodies. They are not their parents' property; children are their temporary wards. They are separate beings and have rights, one of which is not to be medically neglected.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

      Yes, they have the right to choose, but they do not have the right to be free from the consequences of that choice. If you have to home school and find a doctor that will allow unvaccinated patients, so be it.

      Nobody needs a doctor who doesn't "allow" customers who won't submit to every commercial injectable that they happen to be selling that year. That level of arrogance & carelessness should serve as a warning to get away.

      I chose my pediatrician specifically because she does not allow personal exemptions for vaccines. There are documented cases of measles transmitted in waiting rooms. I'm glad she steps up to protect all of her patients.

      You forgot that MMR is a live virus vax that sheds? You would be more concerned with the recently vaxd than the healthy unvax, if you stopped to think about it. You can't spread something you don't have, right?

      You might have a point if the myth of measles shedding actually was a thing. There has never been a documented case of someone catching the vaccine strain measles virus from someone shedding. Billions of doses. It. Has. Never. Happened.

      What I don't understand is, if they're so adamant that catching measles is superior to getting a vaccine, why wouldn't they be excited about "shedding"?

      Easy, silly. It's because the weakened viral strain used to make the vaccine is "unnatural" and weakened. Better to be infected with a full-strength, potentially dangerous wild type strain. There, hope that cleared things up.😉🧐

          This is leading me to another thought: would they be ok with a vaccine that is pure, uncut, un-weakened measles?
