But D's and R's are both reasonable actors on the political stage. Both sides should have equal standing with voters, no matter any stupid "facts" or polling. And, as everyone knows, a bipartisan solution, where both sides give something, and Democrats give just a bit more, is always the best solution.
If a few kids have to die from some long conquered disease, so be it.
Like my grandmother always said, "You can't spell 'goat phuck" without G – O – P" …
Says who?
What we need is more forced religious-motivated transvaginal ultasounds and LESS science-based public health meddling.
Thank you, GOP, for making measles outbreaks more likely in Colorado.
Free-dumb is never free.
As far as I'm concerned, parents can do whatever they want. But, if they choose not to vaccinate, their kids can't come out in public, ever, until they are vaccinated. There's your choice Sen. Looneybird.
Should definitely not be allowed to attend public schools and private schooling should be their own financial responsiblity just as Catholic schooling has always been the responsibility of Catholic parents. Private schools can make their own choices. They'd be wise to choose "no way".
If a parent can't find a public or private school willing to expose students to their dangerous unvaccinated children home schooling would be the remaining option. Exceptions can safely be made for the tiny percentage of children who would actually be endangered by vaccinations for medical reasons. A very small percentage of unvaccinated in a vaccinated population is safely acceptable. But a doctor must verify he child's medical condition based exemption and strict no wiggle room limits on the percent of medically excused chldren in any given school should be set and enforced.
Those who don't vaccinate for religious reasons can organize their own private religious schools at their own expense.
A common sense response. While I was a small kid "back in the dark ages," there was never any issue surrounding vaccinations. You just got them, unless one's parents were part of one of the real small religious groups that proscribe vaccinations.
Anyone know where to find a list of the vaccinations required in Colorado? It might be interesting to actually look at one….

It’s time to California these fuckers.
Let’s also remember that the schools that have the most of these tiny little time bombs are filled with kids from neighborhoods that are white, uptight, and not always to the right. Chalkbeat put up a database with immunization rates last year (scroll down to see where patient zero will come from in your neighborhood).
I understand Boulder is crawling with them.
Thanks for the link…I didn't see anything on there I would be willing to catch.
Of all the right wing idiots, these idiots are probably the most idiotic…unless its those idiots at the end of the link Dio has posted below.
Plenty of lefty idiots on this one.
Proving, yet again (like we needed any more …), that perhaps the most dangerous contagion is ignorant asshattery …
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/27/us/politics/zika-virus-senate-emergency-funding.html
… here's hoping someone finally develops a vaccine for that malady!
Microcephaly may be due to pesticides sprayed in drinking water, rather than to the Zika virus. It's hard to sort out because they both occur in the same Brazilian and Argentinian poor slum populations where the drinking water is a breeding ground for Zika-carrying mosquitos, and also heavily sprayed with pyriproxifen, a larvae-killing chemical manufactured by Sumitomo (a Monsanto affiliate).
There is as yet no scientific data definitively proving either the pesticide or the Zika virus causes microcephaly.
So you'd probably be in favor of some additional research — the kind that requires physicians and scientists who do good work, but not necessarily for free?? And, until more definitive proof of causal agency is uncovered, maybe developing some contingency control and risk mitigation procedures and planning — not necessarily always done for free??
i recognize that all knowledge always comes with a price, but ignorance always eventually comes with a much higher price …
Yes, further research needed and paid for, although it will probably be 50 degrees below zero in Brazil before there is any serious research which might implicate Sumimoto (Monsanto's affiliate) for contributing to disabling birth defects in infants.
Let's all get on the Zika train, instead. Ebola hysteria worked out so well for so many politicians.
… not to mention those folks in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
If one can recall the 2015 legislative session, Senator Lundberg was a prominent voice in claiming, erroneously, that IUDs are aborti-facients. Looks like he's wrong yet again.
I'd like to suggest a Mad Lib for that one.
If one can recall the [year] legislative session, Senator Lundberg was a prominent voice in claiming, erroneously, that [anything] is/are [some crazy bullshit statement]. Looks like he's wrong yet again.
