Maybe your friend is worrying about the wrong thing vis a vis vaccinations.
But we ought to require immigrants be vaccinated in order to gain entrance to the country. If they’re not vaccinated, we should vaccinate them. I would not have a problem with that.
Is that what you’re talking g about LL? Kinda hard to extract an actual topic from your post.

Please see CDC web site for a detailed outline of required vaccinations for immigrants. It is extensive. A short version from the site below:
What vaccines are required for U.S. immigration?
At this time,* vaccines for these diseases are currently required for U.S. immigration:
- Mumps
- Measles
- Rubella
- Polio
- Tetanus and diphtheria
- Pertussis
- Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib)
- Hepatitis A
- Hepatitis B
- Rotavirus
- Meningococcal disease
- Varicella
- Pneumococcal disease
- Seasonal influenza
Immigration and public health is a complex problem.
And NO- vaccines do not cause autism. Completely discredited.
In reference to a comment in this thread - not one of your comments, YR
I am qualified to comment on this matter.
