For the last fucking time....I VACCINATE! Not against the influenza because I have specific reasons why I did not vaccinate against it this year. GRRRRRR
So to answer your question, yes small pox vaccines feel right to me.
No, I'm reading, I understand. I haven't been arguing for mandatory influenza vaccinations. My daughter Mo isn't vaccinated against influenza either (allergy). I haven't argued that there are no valid reasons for not vaccinating. I've been arguing that some reasons are not valid. You vaccinate, Shell vaccinates, I vaccinate.....we all agree that vaccination is a good idea. Where Shell and I disagree is whether or not there should be a right to not vaccinate, specifically the "it's my own body" argument, which I find completely and utterly uncompelling, since it isn't just "my body" we're talking about.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
