Ehhh this is a complicated issue because whilst there is obviously a solid argument, it's also verging on parody how much Americans OVER-inflate the role of vaccination in medical history / reduced child mortality rates, and also the propaganda surrounding the seriousness of illnesses that - with our scientific, level-head caps on (which militant anti-anti-vax people CLAIM to have) - we can see are usually relatively minor and with modern healthcare only very very rarely become serious.
I mean we're at the point where the US insurance/medical system has American parents ****ting their pants over the bloody chicken pox :facepalm:
Facts:
Vaccines do some good. But they are insignificant in improved health rates when compared to the effect of modern sanitation, antibiotics and modern healthcare. Peopl (especially in the US) have been duped into believing that "children not dying" is mainly down to vaccination, which when you actually look at the medical facts and the statistics, is utterly ludicrous.
Basically I find the militant anti-anti-vax to be as smug and uneducated as the anti-vax movement itself. Just hyperbole flying around everywhere on both sides and nary a fact in sight.
