About that Vaccination...

Shots
Fired
O
n March 4, 1789, the United
States Congress met and
agreed upon ten amendments
to the Constitution.
Known as the Bill of
Rights, they clarified the guaranteed, irrefutable
rights of a citizen of the United
States of America, most importantly
their rights as individuals and sovereign
human beings.
How could someone possibly think to
infringe on these rights in the United
States of America? To force something
that goes against their core beliefs and
right to ownership over their own bodies?
Impossible. Not in America.
Should vaccinations
be mandated? It’s
a debate as old as
the Constitution:
When do the
rights of the many
supersede the rights
of the individual?
Uriah Kreuger, three years of age,
and his family were unusually
cranky one night in early January.
He’d been diagnosed with the
flu upon returning from a New Years Eve
party in Disneyland, and was showing no
improvement. The next morning, the boy’s
face was flushed with fever and a rash.
“You’ve got to get out of here,” Uriah’s
family was told when they took him to their
primary physician. “You’ve got to go to a
hospital.”
While Uriah was up to date on all his vaccines,
he was too young for second doses,
and became the ninety-second measles patient
in 2015.
