you don’t get AIDS from someone coughing in a room full of people. But you do get measles that way. You don’t know people who died from measles, because they are dead. We don’t see the people regularly who were disfigured because of it because they often are shy about being stared at because of how they look.

No, what they are saying is that your “personal freedom” should not compromise the other 3 basic rights supposedly afforded by our constitution. And let’s be real here, if we stop having outbreaks of these cured diseases, no one is getting stopped for their vaccination papers.

“Of course it is possible for children, even those who are not immunocompromised, to die from complications of the measles. But not that many.”

Refutation of point 1:

Pffft.  It’s far simpler than that.  Look at the parent’s Facebook page and if they’re an anti-vax moron you’ll see the anti-vax stupidity.  Those morons just love to brag about how “special” they are.  

A child’s vaccination records are usually processed when they apply for admission into kindergarten. That’d be an easy check, right there—no vaccination, no public school.

Beyond that, vaccination records are kept on file at the hospital that performs them, and in a portable patient file that transfers with the patient…

I’m all for the inalienable rights of the Constitution, but the free exercise of those rights ends when they infringe upon the inalienable rights of another.

To that end, refusal to vaccinate oneself or one’s offspring infringes upon all three of the majors—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—because disease…

Fact: Soda takes years off your life.

Dumb enough to attend live golf I would imagine.

Here's another. ;-)

Shiba owner here. If you plan on getting a shiba, please read up on the breed. Everything people say about the breed is generally true.

We usually have them attached to bowling alleys. But it's the usual Time Crisis 2 machines, couple of 'coin pushers' and maybe, if you're really lucky... a DDR machine.

One day, when I become a millionaire, I'll even bring arcades back into fashion ;)
