Our pediatrician asked us not to bring in our infant on a day when she was treating a lot of flu patients a few years ago, her office has sick and well areas, but it is hard for her to manage. Also please, no stooping to name calling (intellectually dishonest), I know you feel strongly about this, I do too. The wild response to the HIV/Aids epidemic of course made no rational sense at all, even given the little they knew then. I think that you might be setting up an argument that I'm not making, that we should not be treating these patients. I think all patients should be treated, but for highly transmissive diseases with bad consequences then perhaps we should be doing it more carefully than is done at your local pediatrician's office. If you make the choice to go unvaccinated, and thus increasing the risk for others, then you should expect to be handled differently.
