im not necessarily "anti-vaccine" but i despise the government and i absolutely dont trust anything it tells me. im also skeptical over the vaccines and while i believe they are probably a good move most of the time; they do have negative impacts and that is intentionally being kept from us. maybe if government was more open and honest and didnt try to hide stuff from people to manipulate them; we wouldnt be so skeptical about everything they say.
they basically decided "oh we believe vaccines are the right way to go so lets keep quiet anything negative and mock anyone who doubts us because we feel its better people be dumb and just do as we say than potentially not comply if they knew the risks."
You weren't alive were you when polio was a common occurence every summer?
And, oh, measles almost killed me in 1958 when I was 8. Pretty sure my parents would have liked to have had a means to protect me better back then.

I have an old friend who is a Libertarian, and I maintain that friendship despite his obvious misanthropic attitudes.
Even as a Libertarian, he sees the wisdom in vaccination, because he came very close to death--from measles--when he was about the same age.

Friend of mine was intentionally infected by an Aunt with mumps. In the old days when one kid got it, you dragged him/her around to infect all the siblings and cousins apparently. My friend lost her hearing on one ear and the other ear is severely damaged. This was in the 60s. It was only the mumps.

A family member of mine was permanently handicapped by polio before the vaccine existed.

i would never stop anyone from getting a vaccination. so responding to me like that doesnt make sense.
i advocate against government force and i also point out that government lies about vaccines to limit dissent. i dont promote an anti-vaccine agenda. i promote and anti-government agenda because there is no greater evil on earth than the US government and government in general.
if people want to take their chances without a vaccine, then measles probably makes sense to them because it is a relatively harmless vaccine most of the time. pointing out the limited times it has a very bad result doesnt change the fact that it is very limited.
that is the same with anything. if someone uses an argument like that id imagine they dont drive a car for sure. probably dont fly, drink tap water, eat most foods, etc. etc. etc.

Unfortunately, this isn't how herd immunity works.
If you don't have your own titers checked, you may very well be one of the morons walking around risking exposure to the measles. If it's so deadly then proof of vaccination should be required for entry into the country. Are visiting "anti-vax morons" somehow less dangerous than the ones living in the country? If it's so deadly then, "I might have read something somewhere sometime, half an article or a headline, or instagram, something about me probably being pretty safe from getting it" wouldn't be good enough. You'd be marching in for your blood tests every year and prezenting zee papers to prove you're not a risk to the community.
