There are ways around everything.

Trust me, I'll never have the need to come "crying" to you.

Just keep your damn vaccinations to yourself.
So when a young baby dies after catching measles from your unvaccinated self, can we charge you with negligent homicide? Vaccinations aren't just there to protect your health, they are there to protect the community's health. Those who are too young or have illnesses that prevent vaccinations need for healthy people to be vaccinated. I see nothing wrong with spacing them out, but also believe that people should be vaccinated to protect those who can't.

The idiots who decide not to get vaccinated deserve everything they get. It's just Darwin's way of ridding the gene pool of the imbeciles.

Unfortunately they end up spreading diseases around and babies can catch them, like the two children who caught measles at a doctors office from an unvaccinated child. They both later died from encephalitis-totally preventable. Teen dies from measles he picked up as baby - The Local

Nobody wants to hear you and your logic.

The child that brought measles into the waiting room was not vaccinated:

" 'There was another boy there at the time with unclear symptoms whose parents had refused to have him immunized against measles,' said Martin Terhardt from the association, adding he ended up infecting six other children including three infants.

'If that boy had been vaccinated, Natalie and Michael would still be alive today,' he said."

When disease scare tactics don't work to get people to vaccinate, gears are shifted into shame and emotion.

The anti-vax contingent never uses scare tactics, does it?

Michael and Natalie died from complications of a vaccine preventable disease. Not a scare tactic, just cold, harsh truth.
