The anti-vax movement needs to be broken into 2 parts:
- Opposition to the flu vaccine. This is reasonable. I personally don't take the flu virus and consider the way it's been marketed to be a scam.
- Opposition to polio, smallpox, measles. This is stupid. I would never advocate that people skip these vaccines.
Don't let people make it a Black/White. The vaccine issue is complex and needs intelligent debate.
Polio and smallpox have been eradicated almost globally, so it makes absolutely no sense to continue mass vaccinating against them.
However small a risk the vaccines present, it's greater than the risk of catching a non-existent disease.
