In my own view, any parent that refuses to vax or go by an alternative schedule than what empirical scientific research recommends, deserves to have their children removed from their custody and be declared unfit.[/quote]

The author of this column, Michael Hilzik, is a business columnist for the LA times. He won a Pulitzer for reporting on corruption in the music industry. He has no medical background of any kind, not even a science background. His assertions are subjective and sound hysterical, not clear, ordered or based on objective reading of fact.

I disagree with every aspect of the original post, which is offensive to parents like me who have children who have been injured by vaccines. OP do you have a child injured by a vaccine? If you did, you would not post such a biased article by a person who has no qualifications to weigh on on vaccination.

There are many good reasons not to vaccinate or to vaccinate selectively based on the needs of the individual. No other area of medicine is "one size fits all" except vaccination, which is applied uniformly to every child, regardless of family or medical history, which is clearly wrong.

Calling someone "idiot" over and over again does not prove your points, pp(s). This thread is a tirade, nothing more, as is the LA Times article by Michael Hiltzik. Neither is well-reasoned or rational, and not likely to change any minds.  [/quote]
