Forced vaccinations

As a mother and grandmother, I am outraged that the government would force me, a U.S. citizen, to put these drugs into my babies bodies. Before you force me to do any shots, please change the laws to reassure me that they are safe.

First: Document all the infant deaths, such as SIDS; when and what shots they had on their death certificates for at least three years. Document all reactions children experience after the shots, such as allergies, they didn’t have before.

Second: Before you force me to give shots to my family, change the laws to make pharmaceutical companies liable for any damage, such as paralyzed limbs, seizures and autism.

Third: Make sure ALL the thousands of illegal aliens are not allowed to enter the country with all the diseases and health risks they are bringing into our schools and communities. BUILD THE WALL!

Fourth: We need stronger laws to protect the parental rights and responsibilities to decide what goes into the minds and bodies of our children. We have learned not to trust the government with their past lies and failures.

These are MY children, and I will not put these poisons, like formaldehyde, into my family. But you are free to put them in your own family. If your children have been immunized, then they shouldn’t get infected by my children, right?

This is the ultimate control and power grab. Is this America or China?

What’s next? Forced abortions?

Just move

I was alarmed by the high rates of vaccination exemptions at many Big Island schools (Tribune-Herald, March 31).

Those who deny their children the basic human right to be vaccinated should move to the Third World, where vaccinations often are a luxury, and where many diseases still persist.

Noisy helicopter tours

Regarding the letter, “Too much to ask” (Tribune-Herald, April 3): What’s up with Hawaii County officials?

Commercialization of people’s misery and despair is crossing the line. Let these folks get back to a sense of normalcy and afford them some privacy.

Human decency demands no less.
