[12] DON'T "BUY" INTO THE BS As usual, "the other side" is working hard to make sure kids stay vaccinated. "Studies have shown that the harder it is to obtain an exemption, the less parents use it. Some are motivated by convenience. Others see the hurdles as a sign of how seriously society regards immunizations." [13] The gist of this article is to make exemptions more difficult to obtain by requiring parents to be counseled by their pediatricians on "the risks of vaccination versus leaving a child unprotected." And -- get this -- requiring insurance and Medicaid to cover the counseling. After all, it's effective. "About 85 percent of parents who had withheld vaccines changed their mind after group information sessions at the Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia." Why not call a spade a spade? A "group information session" is propaganda. More of the same. If parents can have a free counseling session with their pediatrician to convince them to have their children vaccinated -- free if they can't afford them -- then let's require insurance and Medicaid to pay for titer testing (and the visit) and make it free for uninsured patients.
