Many more doctors are saying: good.
Further, they are saying: if your children aren’t vaccinated, I’m dropping you as a client.
Rather judgmental, eh wot? Or warranted?
Brought about by recent measles outbreaks started first in LA from Disneyland and now across the nation, and a TB outbreak included in a local Sacramento, California school.
First things first:
Question: when this nation had these diseases kicked for decades, why are they emerging again now?
Answer: because of illegal immigrant children purposely imported in the United States of America at the direction of Barack Hussein Obama.
Illegal (mostly Mexican and CA/SA) children who haven’t been screened and who have purposely been spirited away and imported into numerous communities around the US with no accountability and no traceability are the norm these days. You can’t trace their movements and that would be considered racist anyway, in the extreme. Comments about this later.
At the behest of Mr Barack Hussein Obama II.
You can ask the federal government for an accounting of these streams, but they won’t answer because they don’t have to. Covered as they are, of course, by Barack Hussein Obama. The EOTUS.
No accountability, no answerability, lies at the drop of a hat.

Some doctors won’t see patients with anti-vaccine views
by Alicia Chang
LOS ANGELES (AP) — With California gripped by a measles outbreak, Dr. Charles Goodman posted a clear notice in his waiting room and on Facebook: His practice will no longer see children whose parents won’t get them vaccinated.
“Parents who choose not to give measles shots, they’re not just putting their kids at risk, but they’re also putting other kids at risk — especially kids in my waiting room,” the Los Angeles pediatrician said.
It’s a sentiment echoed by a small number of doctors who in recent years have “fired” patients who continue to believe debunked research linking vaccines to autism. They hope the strategy will lead parents to change their minds; if that fails, they hope it will at least reduce the risk to other children in the office.
Some mothers who have been dropped by their doctors feel “betrayed and upset,” said Dotty Hagmier, founder of the support group Moms in Charge. She said these parents made up their minds about vaccines after “careful research and diligence to understand the risks versus the benefits for their own children’s circumstances.”
Further:
Younger Americans are much more skeptical of vaccination than their elders
95 people across the US and Mexico have been affected by an outbreak of measles that has been traced back to the Disneyland theme park in southern California. Outbreaks of measles have become increasingly common in recent years as the number of unvaccinated children have increased. Last year the CDC reported the largest outbreak of measles since 1996, despite the fact that the disease had been considered ‘eradicated’ in 2000.
Your thoughts?
Frankly, I was multi-vaccinated as a young person in the late 50s and early 60s. I still have the star-shaped vaccine scar on my shoulder. And somehow I am still alive, despite the most severe of odds.
I have to side with the doctors who insist upon vaccines.
Simple as that.
On the other hand:

Vaccines good! Saying that I do think it is the big increase in undocumented (i.e. Illegal) immigrant children who I bet haven’t been vaccinated that may be the cause of this outbreak of measles in So Cal.
Which makes it more imperative that American parents vaccinate their children. This may sound harsh, but I believe parents who don’t vaccinate their young children are irresponsible.
This is a comlex issue. I did some looking about vaccinations 1950s vs ‘now’. When I was a child in the 1950s these were the vaccines: Smallpox, Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (given as DTP) and Polio. Then I looked at the current CDC vaccination schedule. Hep B at birth plus, Hep A at 12 months plus and others. Something like 27 vaccinations (if I add correctly) before a child is 2 years old. America vaccinates more than just about any other country yet a study at NIH concluded that America vaccinates more than any other country yet 33 nations have lower infant mortality rates. It notes that nations that require more vaccine doses tend to have higher infant mortality rates. Is this a cause/effect? I’m not smart enough to speculate.
But as for measles, I was astounded, yes astounded, to see that measles cases reported by WHO for the Americas were mostly zero with the US, Canada and Brazil reporting triple digit confirmed cases in 2014.
As I said, a complex issue.
Back in the day when most of us over 40 crowd got vaccinated, be believed our govt existed to serve us…We The People. That it had our best interest at heart, and made it priority one.
Today, the govt has a well deserved reputation of not doing what is best for We The Serfs, and it is easily conceived that our govt will do anything to brain wash us, control us, sedate us, and whatever they want to us. That is why we have a number of people who no longer trust what their govt says or does. people do not have this attitude for no reason. The govt made us think like this. And to be honest, our govt needs to be mistrusted now. Long gone are the days of public service. Politicians are more into self service these days. They do nothing that does not first directly benefit themselves. If the govt does benefit us, it was probably an ancillary benefit and out a side effect of the govt doing something first for themselves.
Sad.
I believe, yes, the federal government serves to help itself, first and foremost. Little accountability and arrogance unmatched.
That said, would I want unvaccinated kids in the waiting room of my pediatric doctor, or sitting next to my kid at school?

But if your children are vaccinated, where is the risk to them?
Just as no condom is 100% effective, no vaccine is.
