can you tell us, me.. just what this quote means?
is he saying that allowing individuals to select just what immunizations they will take
(selective vaccinations)....
might lead to folks not taking the available Plague or Polio or yearly Flu shots or the battery of DPTs et al ....
~ thereby allowing these sickness to flourish and spread ? ~
sorry, i can't determine if he's 'For' or 'Against' vaccinations

OK, i went & read more replies...

i think spell it out better:
...I would also like to clarify that I am not against all vaccines. I voluntarily go in for my tetanus shot, because I tend to injure myself a
lot. I would gladly accept all the recommended vaccines before leaving the country. I just think it should be a choice in all cases. I am not for
mandatory anything!

We can absolutely agree on this !!!!
Your last quote sums up EXACTLY how I feel about the whole thing. I do think everyone should take personal responsibility and the government wouldn't
have an excuse to mandate vaccinations.
But you are 110% correct. Once our choice is taken from us, we are not Americans anymore
the term '
Selective Vaccination' is a wordy term for freedom-of-choice...
thus if President Obama is
Against a 'Freedom-of-Choice' option,
He is then
For 'Mandatory Vaccination',
regardless of any individual's health, religious, philosophical, financial considerations...
