Yet another person saying that vaccines are bad, nature (and disease) is good.
This is such a dangerous way of thinking! If our immune systems could naturally fight off diseases that we now vaccinate for, they wouldn't kill or disable people.
Most people alive now don't remember the epidemics of measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox, or the terror that was polio or smallpox. Those are all diseases that we commonly vaccinate against, or have destroyed. All those diseases can kill or permanently damage a human.
By vaccinating, we don't worry about our children dying, or going blind, or deaf, or being permanently paralyzed. Unimmunized women exposed to rubella run a high risk of severe to fatal defects in the fetus.
Yes, vaccines have some small risk of side effects. SMALL. Tiny. Infinitessimal. Much much much lower than the risk of death or damage from getting the diseases they prevent.
Do you really want to be responsible for the preventable death of your child, or the preventable miscarriage or deformation of your neighbor's fetus?
