I have mentioned a few times in this thread how my wife's sister's family are part of the anti-vaccination movement. Just last week I was visiting them and one of the kids was limping around. When I asked what happened, she told me he stepped on a nail so his foot was sore. I asked if he has had a recent tetanus show, and she said no, but that they were keeping an eye on it to make sure it wasn't infected. I was just thinking the whole time that she obviously doesn't even know what tetanus is, but she is an expert enough to know that he wouldn't need a shot for it.
It's to the point now that I don't even bother trying. I think they are going to have to learn the hard way one day.
