Whoa, Nelly. There is also significant evidence that links vaccinations to seizures and health problems.
I think each parent has to make a choice based on what they feel is appropriate and deal with the consequences.
My point is that you don't have to be an unconscious religious freak to make this choice.
First, you're wrong about the basic facts.
Second, even if you were right, it's a shyyti thing not vaccinate your kids. When you opt out, you're banking on everybody else doing the responsible thing and immunizing their kids, so your can own sneak by through the math of herd immunity. So you want all the benefit, but you put the risk on my child? If you think there's a risk, you want everybody else to carry it for you? Because I promise if no kids were vaccinated and we were again plagued with measles, mumps, rubella, diptheria, pertussis, polio and small pox, you'd do anything to get your kids vaccinated.
Consequences my ass. Contagious diseases don't respect property lines.
