[QUOTE="D. Hargrove, post: 3240632, member: 41761"] Interesting topic for a gun forum. One of those things that personal opinions override popular thought as well as the thoughts and medically savvy experiences of many Health Service Professionals. We too oppose abortion, we also feel we have the responsibility to assist the Government in their attempts to create a country free from as many disfiguring/deadly/life altering diseases that it possibly can. After 24 years, 5 months and 3 days of active Federal Service, being inoculated against everything from the Flu to Smallpox to Anthrax (13 times). The need for the vaccinations is evident as close contact in large groups is a recipe for disaster without the protective properties associated with the vaccines. It is bad enough when a few Soldiers get a cold and it passes around the barracks quickly, a true outbreak of say Flu B could and most likely would create a Unit that is depleted of all Combat effectiveness. Children are the most susceptible of all humans as their immune systems are often not capable of defeating the diseases alone and WILL certainly fall to the diseases that could easily be inoculated against. I applaud your decision to voice your family beliefs and hold true to them, but in the same context, my family feels that if there is a reasonably safe and well accepted method of prevention, then it seems silly to risk exposure of our youngest generations to diseases that potentially WILL Effect them if contracted. YMMV. [/QUOTE]
