Because of herd immunity. There are the weak, sick, young and elderly who are more susceptible to communicable disease and this is why its important that those who can vaccinate to not only protect themselves and their family but others in our society who are at risk.

We live in a free world where we are able to make our own choices in life. A society with forced injections is a society I do not want to live in. It's our own choice to immunize. If you choose not too then the only well being you are risking is your own.
Forced immunizations is a whole other topic, but you could not be more wrong in thinking the "only well being you are risking is your own." I addressed this above.

How many injections did your dad get when he was a baby? How about your dads dad? How about your great great grand dad? Zero? And you were actually born!!! It's a G D miracle!! You should get 10 injections tomorrow just to celebrate!!!
My dads generation had real threats, children were much more likely to die in childhood for a variety of things. I can't imagine you are being serious here so I won't address it further, as you must be aware of the death rates of those generations, childhood disease/death.

Quote:
Can the child come to an age where he can make his own decisions or will it be too late and he will die of small pox or polio? Because that happens all the time in the developed world.
Considering the vaccinations are to protect children, this makes no sense. It doesn't happen "all the time" because of vaccinations, if we stop now you are inviting back some horrible diseases that can maim and kill.

And oh ya I heard they developed this new medicine that's really awesome. It's called penicillin. I heard its an alternative to not dying of a middle age disease. Just sayin
lol so your suggestion is to not prevent disease, but to just deal with it when it happens? and even better, to let that happen to children? Do you have any understanding of the real and very serious threat of the ever increasing anti-biotic resistance happening today because of its over use.

Quote:
Go get some injections tomorrow. Better safe than sorry right? When when the last time you got immunized???
As a baby, like the vast majority of my generation and the one before it. Thats why we are healthier and live longer, and cost the taxpayer less than the new anti vaxx children to the health care system cause we prevent disease, not let disease creep back into a modern western world.

Also you might want to tone down your insults and attitude, I'm no mod but if you can't have a reasonable discussion you might be better off logging off and cooling your head.
