Welcome! This is the fifteenth post in my vaccine series.  You may have missed  Getting Serious10 Bad Reasons Not to VaccinateWhy “Science” Should Be Carefully EvaluatedWhat is Herd Immunity All AboutHow the Immune System WorksIngredients in Vaccines Part 1Ingredients in Vaccines, Part 2Risk-Benefit Analysis: MMRRisk-Benefit Analysis: DTaPRisk-Benefit Analysis: Chicken Pox, Hib, Flu,  Risk-Benefit Analysis: Pneumoccocal, Meningococcal and HPVRisk-Benefit Analysis: Hep A, B and RotavirusWhat About Alternative Schedules? or How to Protect Unvaccinated Kids.

It’s unfortunate, but much of this debate is completely unreasonable.  That is, people get riled up and rely on scare tactics, anger and fear instead of facts; and they don’t believe that people have the right to make their own decisions.  This leads to some pretty scary and sometimes hostile statements from ” vaccine pushers” that can be difficult, in the heat of the moment, to respond to.  Today we’ll talk about some of the most common excuses given by these pushers and responses you can use.

What’s a ” Vaccine Pusher?”

There are people who do choose to vaccinate, in part or in full, who believe that it is an individual decision for each family to make.  Vaccinating works for them.

I am not talking about these families.

A vaccine pusher is someone who believes that everyone ought to vaccinate, with every vaccine currently recommended, on the CDC schedule, with no choice.  If any new vaccines are added, they ought to get those too, without questions.  Families should not have a choice, and those who try to do anything other than the CDC schedule are abusing or neglecting their children and their duty to society, and should be at a minimum, publicly ridiculed; and at a maximum, have their children removed from their home and forcibly vaccinated.  They champion laws that would limit exemptions to extreme medical cases and other lack-of-choice legislature.
