We should listen the Average Joe for what he thinks. Much better idea & far more democratic. I would also like to see janitors take over from current air-plane designers…. All air-plane disasters to date have been designed by a so-called “expert” in their field. This just proves they are all hopeless and not to considered experts or authorities.

Why would we care about the opinions of people who know the most about the subject?

I don’t think you really wanted to be with this woman if you were willing to push what is a hypothetical argument to the point of her wanting to end it with you. You know in a relationship there is give and take. To assume that just because you ‘believe’ you are right, means that you are right is very short sighted. If and when the time arrived when you had to have your hypothetical children vaccinated, your attitude may have changed. But it was just so important for you to prove to her that you were Right that you just couldn’t leave it alone. I know, I have been there myself. Broke up with my first wife because I didn’t believe that we should be spending tax money on researching SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) You see she lost her infant daughter (previous relationship) to SIDS several years before. Even though I really tried to convince her that private research was more effective and just more fair than spending tax money, she accused me of being an insensitive, unfeeling jerk. Now we did end up breaking up, now that was 18 years ago and now I have a child of my own with my new wife and you know what? I got the vaccination for my kid, in spite of my opinion on it. Yes I still feel that I am right, but millions of people get vaccinations and have had no reactions that I would classify as dire. Sure, I could have pushed the point with my wife and I may even have gotten my way. But, what if I am wrong. What if my child contracted whooping cough or measles or any of the other diseases that are vaccinated for? What if he died? Could I live with the knowledge that I was responsible for him NOT getting immunized? Even if the vaccine wouldn’t have protected him, that isn’t what the rest of my family would think. So, I caved. Were you right? Possibly. Was it worth breaking up over? Not really. Unless of coarse you were just looking for an excuse to get out of a relationship that you no longer wanted.

Technology is full of double edged swords. Whatever lens you view them through is your own. Plenty of humans have lived long problem free lives without vaccination.

What I object to is the fear mongering from both sides of this non-issue. Stop telling people their kids will die unless they get vaccinated. That’s not heartless, it just isn’t true.
If someone objects to vaccines, that’s their business. Regardless, chastising a messenger for his perspective is wasted breath.

My wife and I didn’t discuss any of these topics before we got married. We have three children now.
Vaccines are like food labels, the more you read the less you understand what is in them. Also my body can be racked by one single cold. Why would I want to inject all the diseases I didn’t catch into my body at once?
Home school is also a sticking point for me. After seeing the modern school with her own eyes and the students cursing worse than sailors on a twenty four hour leave. My wife decided she wanted to home school. I backed her play but we gave up a second income doing so. I would do it again because my children are doing very well in school. They even do well do state tests.
Anyway good luck
