Are you saying we should not give polio shots to children, we let them die or be cripled for life? Did you not have them as a child?

What about malaria?

Spend a few million on condoms and sex education. This is what 3rd world families need.

yes thats a good idea
but i feel saddened that people are saying we wont vaccinate and possibly let the innocent kids die because the price of a pint or 2 as our annual help is too much

If you vaccinate against a disease then you can't stamp it out completely - because people who are vaccinated can still be carriers without developing symptoms.

Better for people to develop a natural immunity to the diseases prevalent in the area where they live.

What about smallpox then?

If we popped a little RFID chip under their skins, then we could probably scan everyone when they eventually come to the UK .... best place for scanners would be at the benefit offices - being as the Border Agency are totally useless at monitoring the ports
