You have to understand that taking your chances with vaccination, when adverse side effects are still very rare and usually treatable, is morally superior to [i]not[/i] doing so and risking infection by diseases that are much older, more stubborn, and more lethal. Sure, a child's immune system can respond well to most diseases naturally anyway. Would you bet their life on that, though? Herd immunity is an incredible phenomenon, but it wouldn't really exist if it weren't for our society's general disapproval of abstaining from vaccination.

  • [quote]Look up the percentage ratios of illnesses contracted yearly on vaccinated individuals to unvaccinated individuals over a lifetime.[/quote] The point is, people who get vaccinated get sick more often and with more aggressive strains of said sickness than people who don't. It's not a risk, it's a calculated decision to protect my children. I'd rather invest the time in being certain with my decision on my child's well being than just follow a social norm and blindly believe it to be the correct decision.

  • Look, I don't wanna tell other people what to do. I just want to be sure with my kids.

    Ok. Good luck with that. [spoiler]No real way to say that without sounding condescending; so, sorry, I don't mean to be.[/spoiler]

  • A quote and a couple of statistics without sources, followed by "MUH BIG PHARMA." Not very convincing.

  • You have the quotes. Do the research. If you don't want to then you don't really care.

  • Your justification is to find the sources myself? It's [i]your[/i] argument, not mine.

  • I found the sources for myself when wanting to know the facts for my kids sakes. If you cared to know, you already would know. I gave you little snippets of information to tickle your brain not to enlighten you to the fullest extent.
