But I feel like it is also very important to hear this and I know, it’s hard when you are a parent. Vaccinations are for the individual, they are, but they are also for the community and we live in communities. And I understand that sometimes [with] this medical availability [of vaccinations] that we have to do the best job we have for the most people [and this] sometimes results in unintended consequences, and that is a tragedy and [an] across-the-board reality in medical care.
We had a lot of people come by our offices, and in the Capital who have been very concerned about what we are doing here. Now let me make this straight to everybody, these people are not crazy. They are not flat- earthersThese people probably know more about these vaccinations than anyone else on this floor and I mean anybody because they studied, they looked at it and they researched it. And some are genuinely frightened for the welfare of their children. For us to be pushing further and further into their parental decisions for their children not our children but their children, I think is a terrible imposition…these are some very intelligent, well educated people. I really hope that we will listen to mothers and fathers and let them decide for themselves and their families how to proceed on this vaccination route.
There were a ton of moms who showed up all with their kids in opposition to it. Those people who spoke in favor of it were a group of various doctors representing various aspects of the medical profession. Let me repeat that, the people supporting this bill are the people who have to deal with these diseases. All of the emails and support I’ve gotten for this have come from doctors over the commonwealth and people who deal with diseases. Well, you say these people know what is best for their kids. In theory that may be right, except for the fact that they are not only putting their own kids in jeopardy but they are putting other people’s kids in jeopardy as well.
What people don’t realize is that normally vaccine development takes many years, sometimes decades…and so trying to compress the whole vaccine process into 12 to 18 months is really unheard-of. 10
