non-prof health blogs… Thursday, Feb 8 2007

This blog is about vaccinations, and the right to choose. ‘Rob‘ is an American who is debating whether the US government has the right to prescribe vaccinations. But he quotes Megan who thinks that the ‘herd’ mentality of vaccinating is a good thing: that vaccinating “denys the virus a sufficient number of people to make a disease reservoir”. Rob uses strong statements: “we should be able to decide” and “they (vaccinations) should be opposed because…..”. He sites the government as an expert, but one that is not acting in the best interests of ‘the people’. “Once we allow the government to tell us which medicines to take they’ll take that inch and then demand another mile when it comes to the food we eat and the exercise we get. ” Which is a whole other discussion about government intervention, and the definition of health using the bio-western medical model.
What do you think?
