Answer 1

I think parents should be raising their children not the government!

Answer 2

You are already forced to be immunized. For public safety.

Answer 3

OK, first of all is there anything more current than an article from 1993?  Do you have any idea what her current stance is on this issue?  Are any of the other candidates going to have a different stand on this issue?  It's highly unlikely.

I don't know where you are from, but here in Missouri (and in Florida and Michigan) my children had to be immunized in order to attend public school.  They can't technically force you to immunize your children, but you would have to homeschool at the very least.  There are probably several other services you may have to do without if you choose not to have your children immunized.

It's not that I don't agree with you, or that I think immunizations are safe, it is just how our system is set up now.  I, like many other parents, always just got our children immunized because that was what was done.  Now I would be more likely to question their need or their actual benefit, but like most things, it takes lots of effort to get this changed.

I'm sorry that you had trouble with your child's immunizations.  I wish you all the best.

Answer 4

If you are talking about autism...there is NO clear link between the two.

Not to mention the benefits (for the masses) outweigh the few that do have adverse effects from immunizations.

Answer 5

Too late, the republicans put in the homeland security act or motherland act. that the government can immunize you with force.

Answer 6

It is not just Hillary.  Many republicans are behind the forced immunizatons such as in Texas.  Put Forced Immunization in schools in your search.  You will be shocked at how both sides of the isle want to make your decisions for you.

Answer 7

I see both sides here.....

ONE SIDE Hillary wants to attack the medical business community .....lower the cost of immunization and allow all children to get their shots....She cites a "$6.69 cost in 1981" for the series of inoculations..... and compares it to a "$90.43 cost in 1991".....the implication is that medical companies are making obscene profits and endangering our children.....  SHE LIES.... the rise in cost of inoculations are the result of union forced increased cost of vaccine production AND cost of liability insurance and lawsuits.... Her proposal of capping corporate profits will drive many medical companies into bankruptcy and destroy one of the finest health care systems in the world

SIDE TWO I am against any law that infringes on my RIGHT to be stupid..... I had my face crushed by not wearing a seatbelt.....but I still do not like being forced to wear one "for my own good".  To be forced to innoculate my child irritates me but there is a factor here that may make enforcement necessary. As innoculation cost rise some parents will rate their pocketbook over the safety of their child. "If everyone else is protected my child is safe!!" Not true. Innoculated children can carry the virus. We can make stupid decisions for ourselves but we MUST protect our innocent children.

Do innoculations cause illness or injury?.....Maybe..... We should DEMAND that it be made safe...... With all medical proceedures there will be risks.....if innoculations do cause injury / illness to a select few......we need to provide for those who suffer without a lawsuit.....

Hillary is not advocating manditory innoculations beyond what is NOW manditory.....the danger in her healthcare plan is it is dangerously ,possibly fatally, shortsighted. We lead the world in the quality of our healthcare system.....can we improve it?.....sure.....but her plan is a disaster that will NOT improve it but destroy it.... socialized medicine has a long record of failure around the world. We are the world's leader in developing new medicines and medical techniques.....her plan will call a screeching halt to that leadership..... IF (?) there are "holes" in our medical care system.....lets repair them.....but do not fix what aint broke

Answer 8

Absolutely not.  Forced immunization is a violation of our rights.  

Let this be a warning to all those confused Americans thinking about voting for Hillary (or Obama):  If you want to lose your rights and everything that makes you "you," then vote for the Democratic candidates.
