I would not be so sure of calling it an STD. Just saying. And if you think it is your place to punish sin by withholding treatment, why stop here? There are hoards of sinners that need to be punished. Maybe denying pain relief to unwed mothers? It has been done, before it was outlawed. To know to d...

HPV that causes cervical cancer is certainly an STD. Hep. B is primarily an STD but at least there are some other explanations of how it could be transmitted. The overall thing here is that this is once again “harm reduction”, no different than needle exchange programs for drug users. It’s an attem...

J.M.: .. leave it up to individuals conscious .. saying in one breath, “to leave it to individuals, AND, that choosing to pass is sin,” is hard to swallow. Ultimately, it is up to the individuals.

Per one of my friends new in town, Hopkins peds. will not accept new patients for well child care unless the patient's parents are willing to vaccinate as per the CDC schedule.

I don't see this as standing for "righteousness" at all. I see it as someone who is an absolutist trying to push an opinion that we should refuse preventive care for children just so they can be more completely punished for their improbity. I see this as a subchristian position that shoul...

P.3: you do you If-only .. If only .. These vaccines represent a great example of where “you do you” (without being hounded to the last breath) applies. Overall risk is low, for celibate children+individuals as described in this thread,, extremely low, choices should be respected. If only .. The wo...

Refusing a potentially lifesaving vaccine is sin. I am calling it out. It is no different than failing to treat any other illness you come across. It is doing harm. Maybe you did not hear this before your first clinical rotation: I think accepting a vaccine made using stem cell research is sin. &qu...

To know to do good, and than fail do it is sin. Isa 5:20  Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isa 5:21  Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! ...
