Thank you Luella

You are a jewel and amply demonstrate the difference between talking just to talk and walking the true walk.  To what does all the bickering amount to if the understanding which leads to compassion is absent.

And speak of acquired immunity, I have been exposed to so much propaganda for so log from so many different venues that I no longer get pretzeled up about any of it.   I'm not swayed nor confused by the costant intellectual assaults from anyone; whether neo-cons, communists, left wing/right wing, atheists, inquisitionists, jihadists, so-called experts, social engineers, big pharma or small megalomaniacs....

 In response to the answer I received below which I might as well refer to here, I do not believe citing measles is the best example.   I never received an innoculation for measles as a child or even heard of it, but I survived a nasty case never the less.  The only good thing about it, as well as the chicken-pox, is they kept me home from school for one whole month.  This was really a plus for which I still remember the diseases fondly.

Incidentally, just for the record, I'm not against all vaccines as a matter of principle, therefore Toxic Piglet's use of my own words to attempt a last word touché is mute.  I wholeheartedly agree that immunizations have assited us in eradicating many of the viral evils which plagued us in the past, although I also give as much credit to greater cleanliness and preventive measures previously unknown.  I am opposed to the methods utilized in the preparation of modern vaccines in order to manufacture them in large quatities and render them with longer shelf lives.  I am also opposed to the ever increasng numbers of immunizations thrust on children exponentially, all at once and at a very tender age.  I am especially opposed to the insidious brainwashing that precedes all of this vaccinating.

Unfortunately, even though there are laws in place that make exemptions for parents with religious or philosophical objections, the same laws do not allow parents to pick and choose which vaccines to put in their children and which to nay.  It's an all or nothing proposition which puts people like me on one solid side of the fence out of necessity.  No matter how you look at it, the freedom to choose our own healthcare and that of our children is only illusive.
