| Message | Not necessarily. Opting out for religious or ideological reasons simply puts those who opt out at risk. You also run into the ethical dilemma of eradicating a species. |

| Message | "You also run into the ethical dilemma of eradicating a species." Eradicating a species?? Apparently the GVP needs a biology lesson. A virus does not fit the six requirements for classification as a living thing. Therefore, viruses are not alive (they aren't), and they cannot be a species. |

| Message | 1. Vaccinations are used to inoculate people against BOTH viral and bacterial infections. 2. Our discussion never even included the descriptions viruses or bacteria. 3. You state in your bill description "The purpose of vaccinations is to annihilate deadly diseases." Disease is a very broad term that includes many different living species which happen to be parasitic in nature and cause adverse reactions in other organisms. 4. Viruses have been described as life, being that they contain unique DNA and evolve. But that is another argument and the fact is that vaccinations do eliminate bacterial species AND you failed to answer my main point that those who opt out of vaccinations only put themselves at risk, which is their right to control their own body. However, the state should not be responsible for medical care arising from conditions that stem from unvaccinated individuals. |

| Message | Good for bacteria and parasites. It would be great for us to annihilate them, even if it is the destruction of a species. |
