I have to disagree with you here John. Vaccinations, unless there is a strong medical reason not to, protect society as a whole. Antivaccers are putting those most vulnerable (babies) at risk by allowing their kids to be vectors for diseases that used to be all but eliminated.

A strong medical reason such as having to watch your own child being brain damaged before your very eyes? You don't have to be anti-vaccine to be concerned by associated adverse reactions being downplayed.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGRjn_gIJw0 …

Agree if you could know that would happen before hand. Vaccination is not without risk but has overwhelmingly proven to be safe when balancing the risks. It doesn't mean he's always wrong but Posey is a conservative Republican from Florida who believes MMR causes autism.

Overwhelmingly proven to be safe? Hmmm. And how would we know that? I'd prefer to see you playing the ball not the man with Posey. Commenting on thousands of documents from a CDC Chief Scientist whistleblower is not merely his personal opinion for me.https://twitter.com/c7rky/status/1018486942151868423?s=21 …

Playing the ball: Posey's belief that MMR is related to autism has no scientific basis. Also as someone else as already mentioned - we can't forget the dangers the diseases pose:https://twitter.com/etxberria55/status/1034076882529075200?s=21 …

As I think I've made clear in my responses, I don't forget the dangers diseases pose - hence why my son received all vaccinations up to and including MMR. But no scientific basis? CDC Chief Scientist sounds pretty scientific to me. And compared to what? >https://twitter.com/c7rky/status/1018486942151868423?s=21 …

Tell any parent that vaccinating could kill (and knowing fact that there’s enough vaccinated in the population that the risk of not vaccinating is very low) means that many won’t vaccinate and the unvaccinated population *and risk* grows… And this is exactly what we’re seeing.

What we're seeing is parents trying their best to protect their children - as we all do. From whatever risk exists. You think I should take my son for more vaccinations after watching him scream in agony for months & emerge 'severely autistic'? Having lost speech, walking etc?

It’s inappropriate for me to comment on your specific case or your children rather than talk generically about the benefits of vaccination. Too much emotion and it I don’t see it doing much good for our friendship which I’d rather keep.

You and I both. I respect your passion for the subject, but that doesn't mean I'm going to ignore the evidence under my nose or the disturbing lack of science I found when I went looking I'm afraid.
