I agree someones choice shouldn't infringe on you or your family. Are they still a threat to you even if you get vaccinated?

It didn't say it was on the show. It said sesame street's Elmo character.

I think this proves how dumb people who make their kids get vaccines are.

I don't think the argument is vaccines or no vaccines, that is a false dichotomy. I've had a few vaccines I'm thankful for, like the rabies vaccine after being bitten by a wild animal. I've also not had many vaccines like the seasonal flu vaccines and for that I'm thankful. I think the problem is when people try to make stupid statements such as: 'vaccine good' or 'vaccine bad'. Some vaccines can be good, some aren't. I do believe that the choice to be vaccinated or not is essential and is not something that can be taken away so lightly.

If we are required to receive vaccines, what is to stop pharmaceutical companies from lobbying their way into more and more vaccines to drive up their profits? Couldn't this cause more harm than good if left unchecked? I respect the intelligence of my fellow man and his right to choice, even if I don't agree with it.

Why not let people do what they want?

Get them while they are young and they won't ask too many questions. Later they will be good little workers and test subjects.

I'd Like to see the surgeon general talk to Elmo about Big Pharma. That would be better "tel-e-vision programming". The poor kids, poor sesame street. It has been hollowed out and turned into a propaganda machine of the state.

BIG BIRD!! I'll never forget how you taught me to be kind. I know they turned you into a zombie puppet, but deep down you know who you are.

Ha! Indeed. The Surgeon General could take Elmo on a field trip to the state-run facility for the "differently-abled" where I used to work. Elmo could see what it's like to sit in a wheelchair for 30 years screaming at the top of your lungs from pain, wilst smearing your feces into your hair for stimulation.
