It is regrettable that the current anti-vaccine movement is based onemotionidiocy, not on science.
Fixed.
There may be multiple "movements" so I can't speak for all. But I know many who are against many vaccines and their reasons are based strictly on science. They include doctors and researchers who have spent many years researching the issues.
M A V I C - sorry, but I work in this science research space. I know of NO reputable study that shows that vaccination is a problem. Indeed, the main 'science' that was cited for years has been recently and soundly shown to be genuine scientific fraud.
You can always get a booster vaccine later in life.
When you are infected with chicken pox (as I was when I was young), your cells are invaded by a foreign DNA virus invaded. It normally lies dormant. But when it wakes up - in your nervous system - you get the disease known as Shingles. Often very painful, and it can even be debilitating. With the vaccine, this infection does not happen.
