People are just clamoring to get other people’s rights taken away. What happened, America?
This new petition on White House.gov is even more ridiculous than the last one which asked to raise health insurance rates on families who don’t vaccinate. Now it’s just straight up classifying anyone who refuses to vaccinate their child as having a mental disorder.
New White House Petition to “Classify Refusal To Vaccinate Children As A Mental Disorder” Has 2,000+ Signatures
Refusing to vaccinate one's children is dangerous, not just to those children, but to the entire community. Moreover, the 'anti-vaxxer' belief that vaccines are linked to mental disorders is not supported by scientific evidence. This harmful, irrational belief should, itself, be classified as a mental disorder. President Obama, please direct Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to request that this disorder, to be called Jenny McCarthy Syndrome By Proxy, be added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
we petition the obama administration to: Classify Refusal To Vaccinate Children As A Mental Disorder
Since when is science based on opinion and not data?

I hope they succeed with the petition.
It'll be interesting to finally see who are the ones that would embrace a government that dictates to them.

I don't agree. However something needs to be done about the exposure to deadly diseases these idiots inflict on everyone else.
There is no rational reason barring legit medical reasons to not get vaccinated.
