The word "proposes" stand out to me.
Are you insinuating that herd immunity isn't a real thing? It's basic biology. Consider:
www.publichealth.va.gov...
Also, we are seeing a resurgence of diseases supposedly, and yet most states boast a very high percentage of vaccinated.
Herd immunity needs to be around 85-95% for most diseases:

What does that tell You? Well actually it could tell you many things. The vaccines aren't working, or the vaccines never worked and the disease is just reoccurring naturally, or a herd mentality, I mean immunity has little effect.
Or it tells you that even a minor number of ignorant anti-vaxxers are enough to compromise the herd immunity for the rest of us.
Here is a page with some good charts, check it out and read about diphtheria.

This is intellectually dishonest. I will give you the benefit of the dount and assume you have been suckered. Here, take a look at the incidence rates and tell me vaccines aren't effective:

My mind is never going to be changed to a no vaccine point of view so I'll leave you to this.
I hope you are childless I really do. If not I really feel sorry for your children. They are going to suffer.

Yes, you clearly know more about vaccines that the entire scientific establishment who have spent decades of their lives meticulously researching and experimenting with them.

I didn't say that. But if you need to exaggerate to make your point, carry on.
By being anti-vaccine, you are by definition someone who thinks they know more about vaccines that the entire scientific establishment who have spent decades of their lives meticulously researching and experimenting with them.
You're also dead wrong.edit on 18-3-2014 by GetHyped because: (no reason given)

I say, f*** the herd! Let all the weaklings die. Me and my kids will take disease over vaccinations any day.edit on 43pm3America/Chicago11u14 by saneguy because: (no reason given)

your comment should have just been
"By being anti-vaccine, you are by definition...someone who thinks"
you should have just left it there.
because if you are pro vaccine....you aren't thinking....you are just listening to whatever you are told by MSM and big pharma

Yes, I get periodic emails from nvic.org. Very good site and they work hard for all of us. Fighting the fight.

Fortunately, university level research has been done to study prevalence of diseases in the pre vaccine era and compared it to the vaccine era.
Their was over 100,000 cases of hepatitis A before the Hep A vaccine. Today their is only 11,000. Explain that.
I'm very much pro vaccine and pro science in case you weren't clear. Much of this junk science that is thrown around is exactly that, junk. I'll watch the remainder of the video tonight when I'm out of my classes

Could you post that university level research please? Junk science is one of those terms that fits quite well with most of the studies done prior to roll out of many pharmaceuticals. How many drugs have been pulled after their patents expire? Junk science was introduced prior to each of those products. Check out a link I posted on page 2. Lots of historical data there. It won't fit your beliefs, but it's there for you to ponder in any case.
Pardon?

Or that you have enough of a medical or scientific background to understand that pretty much everything the anti-vaxxers say is regurgitated lies and misinformation?
oh yeah like your statement about giving a kid all his vaccines at once if it's so safe. That was not over dramatic huh?
