And what if I have had the vaccine and still carry the disease as a carrier?
Who gets the blame then?

Actually, Nazi behaviour would have meant I'd have been killed at age
5 when the diagnosis of Diabetes was made. When you use that
particular description carelessly, you lessen its power.If you wish to be accurate, call me brutish or self-interested.
Selfish, however, is also inaccurate. Do you know what a disease
vector is? With a surpressed immune system, I'm the first to pick up
what's going around, and I spread it like a lawn sprinkler. So, if
someone with no immunizations comes too close, they're going down as
well.
See, I actually give a damn about other people's health. Doing so has
the bonus effect of keeping me healthy.Oh, and, if I can prove a reasonable threat to my health exists from a
easily remedied situation, I have every right to insist my employer
takes appropriate steps to remedy it. Which might mean said person
gets to work in the basement, next to the old adding machines.Quoted message said:"m nesbitt" <[email hidden]> wrote in message

because of the refusal of parents to vaccinate their kids:I'm immunosuppressed. I have one working kidney that isn't mine, and
I'm pretty healthy now, partly because I don't run across scads of
people with whooping cough, rubella, measles et al. Yes, you're
putting your kids at risk with vaccinations, just as you are when you
take aspirin, St. Johns Wart, or when you cross the street. But they
are calculated risks, as is everything else in life.
So, if you wish to provide your children with an immunization free
existence, be my guest. Just move to an island somewhere, where your
kids will not be a real, definable danger to me.
I will not try to convince you to immunize. But know that your
children will never be invited into my house, and if one of them comes
to work one day an a new employee, and I find out, I will get them
transferred, fired, or demoted to another location. Because your lack
of concern for MY well being makes them a real risk to me.
