I could not purposefully kill anyone without cause.

Here's a compromise. You can freely avoid vaccinations, and we can freely quarantine you where you can't come into contact with others with compromised immune systems, the vaccine, or those who aren't vaccinated with legitimate reasons.

That is already the case.

I don't really have a dog in this fight, and I've already said my piece in another thread, but I'll be reading along.

I am there with ya. I see both sides of the argument. I am also a critic of the 'mandatory' HPPV vaccine. I will not force my daughter to get this one at age 11. She can make that decision when she is older. However, my kids do get vaccinated against the norms where their transmission would be likely in confined areas (schools). Now...if one suggests that 'girls' are likely to contract HPPV in the schools, then I would contend that we have a very serious problem with our 'education system.'
