So the pros are innocent people don't up hurt

the cons are "BUT MUH FREEDUMB".

> Plus all the claims of other unhealthy complications of vaccines, some of which are probably true to a degree.

This is the type of thing that gives anti-vaxxers fuel. Don't give them the benefit of the doubt, don't say more research is needed before deciding.

Fine, you can choose not vaccinate your kids. They should be banned from public schools, and pretty much anywhere else. If you don't want to vaccinate them then they should have to live a shitty isolated life, because you sure as hell shouldn't get to make them or others sick with your idiocy.



In my country vaccination rules are rather strict!

But: I've heard many stories about anti-vaxxer parents who managed to bribe doctors to throw out the vaccination but then do the bookkeeping as the if the child were vaccinated.

And this is the worst imaginable setup... :(

Maybe in richer countries, where the doctors are well payed (by the state or whoever enforces the vaccination rules), this would not be a problem...


If freedoms means so little to you, feel free to give them up on a whim. Stay the hell away from mine, though.
