You clearly have no idea how crazy the California legislature is.

Well, if it's up to me, then swallow this cyanide pill.

I'm sure the SWAT team will find you an amusing training exercise.

The fair thing to do would be to put all the voluntarily unvaccinated children in the same class, with no contact with the ones who can't be vaccinated, to protect the latter. Most schools could probably find unvaccinated teachers to teach them, too.

No, that's not really the way it is. There are many reasons why someone can't be vaccinated. Being immunosuppressed is only one of them. Egg allergies are rather more common, and school represents little danger to a kid who is allergic to eggs.

Plus, the number of kids who can't safely be vaccinated is small enough to not break herd immunity. The number of kids whose parents are idiots is much, much larger. As the recent measles (and whooping cough) outbreaks have shown.

The issue isn't whether or not you risk your kid's life, it's whether or not you risk the lives of other people's kids, and others who can't be vaccinated, and whether or not the taxpayer is going to foot the bill when you kid's sick.

Only if he's an exploding stripper.

That's the thing. To some people, there isn't a difference. It's entirely binary to them. Either everything a doctor says is gospel handed down by God, or it's murderous conspiracy, with nothing in between.

440,000 deaths versus how many millions of people who would have died without medical care? If you want to make it purely about numbers, you still lose, hands down. Without modern medicine, warts and all, average life expectancy is less than 40 years.

You back off man. A scientist is no match for a stripper.

One of the doctors who announced he would no longer accept unvaccinated children as patients nailed it with the question "If you don't trust my judgment on the extensive scientific research on the safety of vaccines, how can you possible trust my judgment on anything to do with your children?"

If you really believe that the entire medical profession, literally every one of them, is either criminally incompetent or part of some massive conspiracy, then your only rational choice, when your child is sick, is to sit there and watch them die.

And taking her clothes off in front of cameras. Don't forget that, because that's the equivalent of having a PhD in biochemistry, only better. Just ask her.

For values of "elsewhere" that start and end with "anywhere other than Twitter, like the pits of Hell."

If you have something to say that can be said in 140 characters, you have nothing to say.

You probably believe that movies "inspired by the title of a true story" bear some resemblance to the actual events, too.

I disagree. It is rude. But it's in response to rudeness, so I'm OK with that. And if "No thanks" isn't good enough, the followup is "go away and don't talk to me," followed by making a scene if it's in public, to let everyone else know the asshole is inappropriately aggressive. On the phone, just hang up. You don't owe telemarketers even the courtesy of "no thanks."
