Quote:According to Texas House Representative Jonathan Stickland, Texas pediatricians should mind their own business when it comes to vaccines, which, by the way, are sorcery.

I feel like Doctors should be able to refuse to treat patients like him. Like... "Sorry, you classify me as a sorcerer, and that means I don't have to follow the Hippocratic oath because I'm acting as a sorcerer, and not a doctor."
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

I thought vaccines were everyone's business. Who wants their kid to be around other kids who aren't vaccinated?

If it's sorcery, then sorcery must be awesome. Get sick, go to the clinic, and buy me some sorcery pills.

An Orthodox priest from outskirts of Moscow declared on a local Christian TV channel that a woman better die than get naked before a doctor. Plus he stated that if God wants you dead you should just die and don't oppose his will. Fundies are all the same. Although in Russia you got to be carefull arguing with them - wrong choice of words can get you sued for 'insulting believer's religious feelings'.
