Herd immunity (or community immunity) describes a form of immunity that occurs when the vaccination of a significant portion of a population (or herd) provides a measure of protection for individuals who have not developed immunity.[1] Herd immunity theory proposes that, in contagious diseases that are transmitted from individual to individual, chains of infection are likely to be disrupted when large numbers of a population are immune or less susceptible to the disease. The greater the proportion of individuals who are resistant, the smaller the probability that a susceptible individual will come into contact with an infectious individual.[2]

I was in Walgreen's the other day. There was a sign that said "Get your vaccine here. Whooping Cough vaccine MANDATORY."
Could you get a photograph of this notice please GV, sounds abit over the top IMO, not that I'm doubting you, it just would be better clarification.

Could you be more specific perhaps?
Anyway...forcing vaccinations on people is clearly a violation of basic human rights, and an invasion of people's bodies. This should be pretty obvious. If they force people to get vaccinated then it would only be a small step further down that path to forcing people to be organ donors. I feel like this must be a troll thread, although a fairly successful one.

That's the problem though, doing research on the internet does not make you an expert. In fact it can even make you worse off than someone who knows nothing; websites can purposefully skew facts and bend the truth. It's a sad state of affairs when people would rather listen to actors and playboy models rather than scientists who have spent a lot of time studying and researching to get to the point they are at.
Thanks, Jenny McCarthy! Thanks for the measles!
