We now live in a time where we have treatments and cures to disorders and diseases. However, due to religious reasons, people don't want them for themselves or children. The reason is that some vaccinations use aborted fetal tissues. Christians are against abortion believing that it is murder. Why would you risk your children's health for your own beliefs?
There are many diseases and afflictions that we can get easily exposed. With the chicken pox vaccine, 3% people who get the vaccine end up getting chicken pox. For people that are vaccinated for chicken pox, can still get it but the symptoms are not as serious as an un-vaccinated person. Some experts say that if you were previously vaccinated for measles, you can get a serious chronic condition. It would be good if you are vaccinated and get chicken pox, you don't get it as bad.
For people who don't want certain vaccines due to their beliefs on abortion, there are alternatives. There are alternatives to the Hepatitis-B. "Engerix and Comvax both which are produced using yeast than human or animal cell lines." - Staver. For polio, an alternative is called IPOL. IPOL is not taken from aborted fetal tissue. There are other afflictions that have alternative vaccine choices. There's alternative for Mumps, Rabies, and Rubella.
People lose their minds when it comes to mandatory vaccines. There was an instance when two kids were expelled for not having their required vaccines. It makes sense not to let them in school but expulsion is a bit excessive. The effects from the kids' expulsion is when Child Protective Services were called because the kids were not in school. There was a lawsuit filed against the school. The school had to let the kids back into school by allowing the kids to go to school unvaccinated. Good idea, unvaccinated kids causing an pandemic in a school.
We are thankful that we have cures and treatments for diseases that back then, could kill you. We need to take advantage of the gift of vaccines. I guess that if you don't want vaccines for yourself, I don't have too much of a problem. However, if you don't permit it for your children, you are putting your kids in a higher risk.
