Im not seeing the problem. Figure its 90% hype, and the remaining 10% is forced vaccinations.. something I remember being done to me and I turned out fine...
Ummm... I have had vaccines in my life. I was never, not once, FORCED to have it. My mother was always at the doctor's appointment with me and gave consent. Other than Rick Perry in Texas, who is FORCING people to get shots?
Diphtheria and Tetanus are horrible things to get (Pertussis is bad too, but not in the same class IMHO). I would rather risk my kid ending up brain damaged (a 0.0007% chance of that happening according to wiki) than suffer thru D or T. I am sorry for what happened to your aunt dont get me wrong, but putting your kids at risk as a result seems... not right to me.
In recent years a lot of these once eradicated diseases are coming back for the reason of parents NOT vaccinating. Its not just their own kids they are affecting, its society as a whole. Personally if it was up to me I would deny medical care to anyone who was affected by an illness that they (or their parents) choose to not be vaccinated against.
Great totally understandable you chose to vaccinate against D and T, but what about gardisil? Or the many other sexually transmitted diseas vaccines that will follow?

Do you really believe the harmful effects are ALL or NOTHING? Either the kid has ZERO brain damage or the kid becomes TOTALLY brain damaged?Diphtheria and Tetanus are horrible things to get (Pertussis is bad too, but not in the same class IMHO).

That's the vaccine that almost killed my sister. You could not be more wrong.You of course are correct in labeling it a vax against a sexually transmitted disease..however it is also a vax against CANCER!
I am not sure why this thread was even started. Everyone knows that a serious conversation would never be allowed on this topic. The murder of crows will drown out any other voices.

How can you be sure that your infant isn't 10% brain damaged? Or 50% brain damaged? How could you ever know the lost potential of your child? They might grow up and everyone just assumes they are a slow learner and lacking focus. That could be the difference between success and academic frustration/failure.
How much brain damage is worthwhile, to obtain a marginally lower chance of contracting a rare disease that almost everyone survives?
