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.



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.



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.



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.



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.

Modern medicine has nothing to do with humans living longer. It's vaccines. Now I get it. Thanks for enlightening me.
