As a pharmacist I feel I should say my piece. Health is a choice and in this country a right. However, like all other rights, the rights of others must enter into the equation. From a public health perspective, if you have a treatment/prophylaxis for morbidity you weigh risks versus benefits. Why then, can we be against all vaccines? I will freely admit debate on some, but all? You may always choose, but be informed at least before you pretend to be. Saying you will eat your multivitamins, but not vaccinate your children against serious disease? Show me the benefit of multivitamins? What if I told you the leading cause of poisoning in children was those multivitamins? Would you consider those to be serious side effects? There is not one good study I have found showing any real benefit to your magic anti-virus therapy...
