Some people simply can't get vaccinated for legitimate health reasons. The others put them at risk for serious illness.

@motrubl4u Dude!

Some people should not get MMR vaccine or should wait. The MMR vaccine is a vaccine against measles, mumps, and rubella (German measles).

Tell your vaccine provider if the person getting the vaccine:

Has any severe, life-threatening allergies. A person who has ever had a life-threatening allergic reaction after a dose of MMR vaccine, or has a severe allergy to any part of this vaccine, may be advised not to be vaccinated. Ask your health care provider if you want information about vaccine components.

Is pregnant, or thinks she might be pregnant. Pregnant women should wait to get MMR vaccine until after they are no longer pregnant. Women should avoid getting pregnant for at least 1 month after getting MMR vaccine.

Has a weakened immune system due to disease (such as cancer or HIV/AIDS) or medical treatments (such as radiation, immunotherapy, steroids, or chemotherapy).

Has a parent, brother, or sister with a history of immune system problems.

Has ever had a condition that makes them bruise or bleed easily.

Has recently had a blood transfusion or received other blood products. You might be advised to postpone MMR vaccination for 3 months or more.

Has tuberculosis.

Has gotten any other vaccines in the past 4 weeks. Live vaccines given too close together might not work as well.

Is not feeling well. A mild illness, such as a cold, is usually not a reason to postpone a vaccination. Someone who is moderately or severely ill should probably wait. Your doctor can advise you. [cdc.gov]

@jerry99 not the responsibility of the individual for the ailment of others. Sounds cold but I don't expect everyone to learn sign language so deaf people can communicate. Just like I don't expect everyone to get vaccinated to protect people with weak immune systems

@motrubl4u @jerry99 it's your mentalities that made womens abortions illegal for so long. Autonomy of the body is the first step in freedom, it applies to choice of sexual ppl partners, body decoration, outward experience, including what gender. When all you have left in the tank is insults EVERYONE KNOWS YOU CONCEDE AND LOST.

@SeaGreenEyez not true but keep trying.

@ToolGuy aren't civil rights largely about not being discriminated against? Whereas the right to make your own decision should be considered civil liberties?

@motrubl4u right to exercise self autonomy in accordance with their religious views is an absolute right.

@motrubl4u that might be true but I believe in freedom and you like to throw insults.

@SeaGreenEyez agreed the exemption principle is wrong but everyone should have civil rights protecting vulnerable people from vax risks AND FREE GOOD VAX universal not for profit MEDICARE4ALL insurance....takes away the guarantees of high profits and protection from malpractices of vax co & so called health workers

@SeaGreenEyez I agree and so sorry the insurance killer CEOs profited by denying life saving care to you son....HR 676 takes the profit out of insurance for all who sign up....just one kind of coding clerks at providers not accepting private plans....Bernie Sanders has NEVER HELPED HR 676 and wants to increase profits expanding ACA to include abortion on demand....it will never get more than 30 Senate votes....we had 96 in the House 2010 when KUCINICH caved on AF 1 with 2 votes to spare for ACA....he bought into Medicaid expansion for working poor....that was the only provision struck down by the killer US Sup Ct 2_7 Sotomayor & Ginzburg the only humans there

@JesseThompson Lots of fakes everywhere. Maine is not immune.

I'll take Science over religion everytime..

Well who do you trust in medical matters?

@JesseThompson hate to do too much work for someone, but there is a shrink in San Jose who signs them. Oh and I'm more a Marxist than Nazi. AND, by the way, I have read the Geneva convention fairly recently. It does get updated every few years. Can't say as I remember anything about requiring vaccinations for the heath and welfare of a people. Can you say, honestly, that you ever read it? Now that the states that allow doctor's excuses know that a new business has sprung up the fees may be rising. The next time you want to piss on somebody, get your head screwed on straight before unleashing the fangs. Seems you get them stuck in your ass.

@JesseThompson I relooked and did find the part in the convention you are obviously talking about. Not a change, just an affirmation that a person has the right to ASK to not get one. So, go to court, and it is not a right. Says the same thing the US law confirms.
