  - i fail to see why the doctors sould be except at all..... - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 08:42 10
    - I'm sure the expense of malpractice lawsuits factor into their decisions to accede to the parent's wishes in these types of cases. -- nm - znufrii Apr 21, 08:44 9
      - malpractice? - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 08:46 8
        
        that's not what I'm talking about at all. - znufrii Apr 21, 08:47 7
        
        there was a discussion about a few weeks back when someone surgestet that a doctour should have that right - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 08:50 6
        
        well, I can't think that a doctor would be able to pass his board examinations, or have them quickly revoked - znufrii Apr 21, 08:52 1
        
        word -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 08:55
        
        oh, and that discussion was not related at ALL to vaccination. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 08:52 1
        
        I can see how it's not that far of a stretch, though. - znufrii Apr 21, 08:54
        
        the result will be that some kids never go to a doctor. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 08:51 1
        
        well like i say some parents are pjenomenal in the job of parenting and some are utterly stupid - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 08:57
I wonder who the other half is? adults who didn't get boosters maybe? -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 08:36 3
- immigrants -- nm - Don Homer Apr 21, 08:37 2
  - and travelers -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 08:43
  - ah. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 08:37
I feel pretty strongly that kids should be vaccinated. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 08:35 1
- It shouldn't really be a choice. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 21, 08:37
