yeah the whole "mothers responsibity" touched a nerve with me as well. its wrong to presume the mother is the primary care giver in 2008.
and i don't really care if you think i'm arrogant, its common knowledge it was that ridiculous paper on MMR and autism that sparked this all off. it just goes to show how one badly written paper can cause such havock. paniced parents and measles and mumps outbreaks.
and no offense, but i thought herd immunity relied on people taking the responsibilty to be vaccinated. currently no one can force vaccination so technically it is the responsibilty of each and everyone of us.
and why should the government take responsibilty if things go wrong if, as it stands at the moment, the vaccination was a choice. fair enough if it were to become compulsory the government should take responsibility, but not now.
i just know any kids of mine will have every vaccine going.
