State mandated administration of childhood vaccinations is justified

My opponent's arguments are entirely based on the fact that "it's against the religious doctrine. She assumes that everything the bible suggests remains relevant today. However, it is not. In regards to her last response: 1. Christiansa. Unclean animals: Christians eat these so-called "unclean" animals (pigs and shellfish) anyways.b. Don't pollute your body: This passage can have various interpretations. Because it refers to your body housing the Holy Spirit, I believe a more correct interpretation would be concerning substances such as tobacco and alcohol, which can both mentally and physically hurt one's faith.c. "We must obey God rather than men"- This passage could justify breaking any law because government is a man-made system. Breaking laws=bad. 2. Mormons a. Aborted fetal tissue: Russell Nelson, a church authority states that abortions are permissible in health/rape/incest circumstances. (1) Furthermore, the "sin" has already been done. Vaccinating does not promote abortions. b. "Live by faith, not medicine". When Joseph Smith was alive, medicine wasn't as efficient. Dallin Oaks, a president of the quorum of the 12 apostles, states, "When a person requested a priesthood blessing, Brigham Young would ask, “Have you used any remedies?” To those who said no because “we wish the Elders to lay hands upon us, and we have faith that we shall be healed,” President Young replied: “That is very inconsistent according to my faith. If we are sick, and ask the Lord to heal us, and to do all for us that is necessary to be done, according to my understanding of the Gospel of salvation, I might as well ask the Lord to cause my wheat and corn to grow, without my plowing the ground and casting in the seed. It appears consistent to me to apply every remedy that comes within the range of my knowledge, and [then] to ask my Father in Heaven … to sanctify that application to the healing of my body." Brigham Young, one of the Church's most prominent members in history, explains the absurdity in expecting faith alone to heal. 3. Catholics Again, the "sin" has already occurred. The Catholic News Service states, "The Vatican urged parents to use caution when deciding not to inoculate their children against infectious diseases when so-called "ethical vaccines" are not yet available." (2)Obviously, Catholics are still allowed to get vaccinations despite the fetal tissue. This evidence is the most superior because the Vatican is the head of the Catholic Church. 4. Jewsa. Bird flu is irrelevant. "Childhood Vaccinations" refers to the vaccines recommended on CDC schedules. (3) And livestock aren't Jews. Vaccinations are made from already existing animal cells, so the fact that livestock is being injected with un-Kosher vaccinations doesn't apply to today's debate. Ultimately, the evidence my opponent provides just shows that Jews may have to be more careful about what they eat. b. There are other alternatives. (4) Contains a list of vaccines containing gelatin, a non-Kosher product. (5) Contains a list of vaccine brand names and alternatives. If one desires to vaccine Kosher, it is completely possible. For the Dtap, they can get Infanrix. Flu=Agriflu. MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)-Varicella=ProQuad. 5. Muslims“The Gelatin formed as a result of the transformation of the bones, skin and tendons of a judicially impure animal is pure, and it is judicially permissible to eat it.” --1995 decision by the Islamic Organization for Medical Sciences in English and Arabic (8) 6. HPVIt is true that the HPV vaccine doesn't work against all strains of HPV. However, without a mandated vaccine, a large number of people would be getting HPV, although most cases would be PREVENTABLE. Although we can't completely eliminate it, we should try to minimize it to the best of our abilities. 7. Hep B and newborns"In many cases, the hepatitis B virus passes from mother to baby during birth when the mother does not know she is infected. In other cases, the virus is spread to the baby during close contact with an infected family member, caregiver, or friend. Most people who are infected with hepatitis B do not feel sick and have no idea they carry this virus." (6)-While it might not be the children themselves sharing needles, it is entirely possible that a person would use a dirty needle in their life. The key word is prevention. A kid could be running barefoot and step on a needle. A teen could be doing heroin. Even though these may not be the best choices, it is important to make sure that as few people as possible are infected with Hep B. 8. "When will these vaccinations be administered, and who will be checking to make sure that every individual will be receiving every vaccination? In the case of the HPV vaccination, how will the ages at which these vaccinations are administered differentiate?"As this is a PF debate, I am not required to provide a plan. (7) However, the HPV vaccine, as well as all the other vaccines, will be administered according to the CDC's current schedule. (3) 9. "Are all children going to get sick if they're not vaccinated?"No. But according to herd immunity, if 25% or more children don't vaccinate, disease will be able to thrive in their community. When disease thrives, it will infect many people in the community. 10. Constitutional RightsAs I have stated, no right is absolute. If this debate were to focus mainly upon rights, it should be that an individual should not be able to put the life of someone else in danger. By not vaccinating, parents would be putting the lives of their children in danger. They would also be putting the lives of those with weak immune systems in danger, which is by all means, NOT JUSTIFIED. 11. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent disease. Our immune systems are not capable of conquering everything. As shown through my previous Japan example and throughout history, epidemics happen when people don't vaccinate. 1. http://www.lds.org...2. http://www.catholicnews.com...3. http://www.cdc.gov...4. http://pediatrics.aappublications.org...5. http://vaccines.procon.org...6. http://www.immunize.org...7. http://debate.uvm.edu...8. http://www.immunize.org...__All points refuted with more recent and more superior evidence. Opponent's previous evidence is still in question. If it can't be defended, the claims in the second round should flow pro.My case still stands.It is only justified to mandate childhood vaccinations. ___Questions1. Is it preferable to vaccinate or to let the natural immune system try to fight off disease?2. Is it typical Christian behavior to take the Bible literally? 3. Should everyone who wishes to get vaccinated be able to do so?4. Is it right to put another person in danger?
