So, I’m not sure what percentage of this board is on the anti-vax train, but let’s get a general outline going here.
tetanus
polio
rabies
smallpox
and many other diseases
Have either been virtually eliminated by vaccines or at least vaccines have been proven beyond any doubt to work. Pic related. Josh Hightower had received an organ from somebody who had been bitten by a bat in Arkansas and died in Texas. He received a kidney for glomerulosclerosis that he had suffered since birth. He came down with rabies 27 days later and died. Why? Because the donor didn’t get a vaccine.
Anyone who believes in this anti-vax shit is stupid. And I’m not talking stupid in a “2+2=5” way but in an actual Darwin Award kind of way. Just about every disease that has a vaccine for it the vaccine has been PROVEN to prevent disease. I just don’t see how anybody could unironically believe that refusing to vaccinate their children for tetanus after they got cut by a rusty saw blade won’t result in the child getting lockjaw. How retarded are anti-vaxxers?

At the end of the day, you could go through many sound arguments why not to vaccinate, but here's what I will say:
1) Appeals to authority don't work on me, neither do shaming tactics; 2) I have a right to what goes in my body and if I had kids, I would regard it as my responsibility to guard their health.
That's all that needs said. They are trying really hard lately to force this on the population through shaming tactics and hysteria, which makes me from the start disinclined to trust that these ostensible 'elites' have my health in mind.
