- Should "parents take a more active role in designing their children's immunization schedule"?
It depends how you define "active". I think that parents should help prepare their child's immune system through healthy food, herbs, and stress management skills, not immunizations. If the question is geared more toward whether parents should be able to decide the schedule over the school system, the answer is yes. I think it is ridiculous that any school could or would make immunizations mandatory. Most schools are too illness phobic. It is a normal part of being a child to be sick every now and again.
- Would you support making vaccinations programs "compulsory"?
Definitely not! I think that vaccinations take away the bodies natural ability to fight off illness. People are the most equip to deal with illness when they are young and their immune systems are strong. Getting sick as a kid actually helps to build the immune system by building antibodies and quickening the bodies reaction time to foreign germs. The danger with vaccinations is that once an adult, a vaccinated person will have a tougher time fighting off the new illnesses that exist and can get hit with an illness that they were originally vaccinated for if it has mutated.
