I think parents should be "free" to not vaccinate their kids. They're wrong. And society should be free to prevent

That’s the way Oregon is. Every year there’s a cutoff date.

Because of the vaccinations?

Where did you pull the number 3%?

Thats a great non-answer.

Devouring1

2/13/19 4:27pm

Its a great answer! What % would you put on it?

hitechcpa

2/13/19 4:30pm

I was just wondering if the 3% was an official number from someone.

Devouring1

2/13/19 4:55pm

I was going to put 5%, but its not that much. 3% is totally arbitrary.

I would like some context here. What does "went off the deep end" mean? At what age were they vaccinated?

2/13/19 4:21pm

and was it a correlation or a causation?

Crazy Duck

med community claimed not related, but normal one day seizures the next

hitechcpa

"med community"? What does that mean? Multiple doctors? That's an odd way to say "the doctor said not related"

I didn't say it was correlative. I said I saw it and asked questions.

hitechcpa

2/13/19 4:40pm

Yes, you did say it was "correlative." You just haven't claimed causation.

I doubt the majority of the 27,000 unvaccinated are that way because of any "anti-vaxxer" movement
