She’s as good at giving medical advice as she is at running Lucent Technology or HP.

Ask her how she feels about fluoridation and chemtrails.

Well, if her goal is to drive right into the ground than she’s right on message.

Can we turn them away from Disneyland too? That was ground zero for the outbreak of measles earlier this year you fucking moron.

School isn’t the only place these unvaccinated carrier’s of diseases go. How about park’s libraries, restaurants, etc…

Yes, public health is being shoved down our throats, we need to take back our leeches and blood- letting.

vaccinating for cervical cancer (“just in case she’s sexually active at 11”) to make her point.

That is such a stupidly dangerous misleading statement and that alone should bar her from ever giving her opinion on a public issue ever again.

While I back the viable concern that giving an infant a vaccine too early could be problematic, so long as that infant isn’t around other children early on, then I have no issue delaying vaccination until later…but honestly- vaccines have been proven effective and safe. Not to mention the fact that I’m tired of people using autism as a scare tactic given that most of them have probably never met someone who has autism.

Toast.

Naturally, she misses the point about mandatory vaccinations. A religious exception isn’t really all that controversial, nor does it apply to many people. The controversial aspect of this–which of course Fiorina doesn’t address–is whether parents should be entitled to an exemption for any other reason (or for no reason).

Saying that it should ultimately be the parent’s choice begs the question. There are plenty of restrictions on a parent’s discretion over their children–seatbelt laws, the obligation to educate their children, prohibitions against child abuse, limits on the parent’s ability to withhold medical treatment from their children, etc. Immunization is a matter of public health and safety.

…opposed to immunizing her children with any vaccines that were made using cells from “aborted babies,”

WTF?

Yeah, crazy huh? Turns out other parents don’t want their own children dying from easily prevented diseases because religious zealots are too selfish to understand they live in a greater society.

Yeah, good thing “nice” little girls never, ever are exposed to sexual behavoir against their will. I guess young girls have a way of shutting that stuff down.

And the older the girl gets the less effective the vaccine is. So you better hope her hubby is “pure”, too.

Well she might get the anti=vaxer’s vote.

I despise this vile woman I can’t even look at her face when she talks.

She could just opt for the ‘aborted baby free’ immunization.

Just like Gawd wanted and the Constitution wanted

Shorter Fiorina: Your right to religious liberty entitles you to sacrifice other people’s children.

How thoughtful for Fiorina to include an option for schools to turn away unvaccinated children. Maybe taking it a step further, the kids could wear arms bands to alert others to their situation. Maybe a nice gold star?

Typhoid Mary should definitely have carried a warning for people who didn’t want to be exposed.

It’s OK if she is a Republican
