>>Personally, I'm all for vaccines that block/stop/eradicate major diseases and (possibly) some cancers. If you don't want your children vaccinated, fine - but your insurance should then have the right to not cover your childen if/when they contract polio, whooping cough, measles, mumps, etc. And no, that's not advocating forced immunizations - it's expecting the ADULTS to accept the consequences of their decisions - and I'll even state now that no, the children don't deserve these diseases, but hey! talk to your parents. They're the ones who made that (un)informed decision.
