Doctors "Fire" Vaccine Refusers
phantomfive writes "In a study of Connecticut pediatricians published last year, some 30% of 133 doctors said they had asked a family to leave their practice for vaccine refusal. Pediatricians are getting tired of families avoiding vaccines, which puts their children at higher risk of disease. From the article: 'Pediatricians fed up with parents who refuse to vaccinate their children out of concern it can cause autism or other problems increasingly are "firing" such families from their practices, raising questions about a doctor's responsibility to these patients.
Medical associations don't recommend such patient bans, but the practice appears to be growing, according to vaccine researchers.'"
You should have said "Goodbye, cruel world".

I'm fairly certain several types of doctor can discriminate against patients by sex.
One of the few benefits of having a cold is the pleasure of passing it on to cow-orkers, don't take that away from me.
"Stupidity is not a protected group" Wait, I thought you said they couldn't/shouldn't discriminate based on religion.
What exactly is Orking a Cow?
It's a practice known to the State of Utah to be sinful.
Hail Eris, full of mischief...
E pluribus sanguinem
Don't delay for too long - as the proportion of vaccines that contains thiomersal decreases (something it's been doing for a decade now), the number of reported cases of ASDs has increased! That mercury was clearly keeping autism at bay!

And people have died from bad batches of apple juice and lettuce, are you going to stop drinking juice and eating salads now as well?
If my child died as a result of a preventable disease that they contracted while too young to be vaccinated and I found out they were infected by an the child of an anti-vax nutjob I think I'd have little choice but to kill the anti-vax parents. I'm quite sure I'd have a hard time staying my hand.
Wholeheartedly agree with the above
People who are that anti-social and selfish don't deserve to live.
