your child has more chance of dying by going to the morning bus stop than their child does of dying from not being vaccinated. in fact, i'd bet your child has a better chance of dying by catching the flu from a vaccinated child than some other child not vaccinated by MMR.

i understand if someone doesn't want their child vaccinated and they can't go to public school, but forcing people is another thing, even if it is 'for their own good'.

This is only true in countries where almost every child is vaccinated. In the developing nations, where vaccinations are rare, it's the diseases which kill children, not the cars.

Oh good, argument based on conjecture.

Do you want a gold star because someone on the internet, who said something you didn't agree with on a post, did not publish citations? you failed human.

We're getting an impressive variety here! After argument by conjecture fails, we move on to ad-homenim!
