It makes me sick like the Jehovah's Witnesses denying children fucking blood transfusions!
The JWs do more damage than fucking knocking on your door and being annoying cunts!
God I get sick of listening to this attitude. I used to have a similar attitude, but then I matured.
JW's are not the problem. They are healthcare consumers like everyone else, and you never blame the consumer for being "wrong".
There are two issues in your post - the first is people who deny their child a vaccination. This doesn't matter - it really doesn't. Individuals can choose not to vaccinate and it won't make a difference so long as you get 95% of children vaccinated. So stop wasting time and effort on the few people who are actually opposed (which isn't very many), and instead concentrate on the people who aren't actively opposed, but have missed vaccinations for a variety of reasons. I guarantee you that it's possible to exceed 95% vaccination rates without worrying about the people who are actually anti-vaccination.
The second issue is denying your a child lifesaving medical care. Again, in this instance it actually doesn't matter what parents want or believe, it should be possible for healthcare providers to provide certain treatments for children even if their parents are opposed.
But there's a limit as well you know. Sometimes parents force children who dying of cancer or other conditions to undergo numerous treatments, even treatments that have no real prospect of success. But the children would often rather spend their time doing things they enjoy than undergoing treatments in hospitals that are not going to actually help them. Unfortunately, these parents do not listen to healthcare providers when they recommend that treatment stops. They will even travel internationally to find other healthcare providers who continue treatment, rather than let their child spend their limited life doing other things.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
