Butch starts this podcast episode out with a public service announcement warning people NOT to go see the new Wonder Woman movie. It's... horrible. After that, Jessica and Butch tackle the issue of vaccines and whether it should be mandatory, and parsing out what is good for society and what is good for families and individuals.

Thanks for the thought6 comments, guys. I appreciate hearing your perspectives. It’s appalling to me to hear about laws that require secrecy between parents and children. I’m not a big fan of legislation that erodes my influence and control as a parent based on “science”. Much of science is well established, but so much more of it is an evolving body of knowledge that must not be used as fodder for political manipulation. I fear we will continue to see a divide moving forward between those of us who value privacy, independence and autonomy with our individual health choices and those of us who value public accountability and establishing public health initiatives that take precedence over individual rights and desires. I will check out the link, David. Looks interesting and credible! And, Bill- prayers for your grandchild. Anecdotal reports need to be heard a little louder and given more credibility than is currently typical.
I also enjoyed the presentation. There are some states, CA being an example where religious exemptions and other types of exemptions just don't exist. I have a grandson who became lights on nobody home within a week of getting his shot for measles and other ailments . Turns out that some kids have severe allergies to chemicals included in these vaccinations. In the case of my grandson it was Neomycin which is found in the vaccination for measles. I cant understand why the vaccinations have to be combined and why we can't test our children ahead of time for such allergies. In the case of my grandson not doing so turned my grandson from a happy go lucky, attentive 2 year old into a child who will have to be looked after and provided for the rest of his life. In the 1st place, I don't understand what the big problem in the US is with getting measles, mumps, Rubella, or chickenpox. When I was growing up my mother would purposefully get us exposed to the disease in the summer so we wouldn't miss any school. My friends and siblings were all treated the same way and we never heard about any long term effects or death. To me this whole thing is about control. BTW I have had all of those diseases which supposedly are controlled by the multiple symptom measles shot and don't seem to be affected in any negative way.
