At what point are people allowed to say no?
I guess. So, no vaccinations means no autoimmune or neurological disorders?
Consequences like not having my children suffer from auto immune disorders and neurological problems?
"Medically sabotaged" would be your opinion, nothing more. It is your choice.
What is the point of educating someone if they have to accept being medically sabotaged for that greater good?
News flash, the US is not a democracy. Never was.
Sorry but that doesn't sound like a great deal to me. It also doesn't sound very democratic.
Underreported all right, especially if you have a dose and then die. If its a couple of weeks after I bet that doesn't find its way into the statistics.
AIDS is a NCD
Because no vaccine is 100% effective. Because there are some who cannot be vaccinated due to allergies. Because when more people are vaccinated it means that it reduces the chances that others will be infected.
But if youre vaccinated, why worry about those who are not? Youre fully protected, unless you feel as though vaccines dont work.
Yes. The older vaccine was more effective in the longer term.
Taking into account the recent whooping cough outbreaks, youd be right. The majority of those affected had been fully vaccinated.
With vaccines, it is not just a matter of correlation. There is also the mechanism, immunity.
With regards to vaccines, apparently correlation does prove causation.

False. The HIV virus which causes AIDS is communicable.

What's the difference? Except that vaccines don't cause many people to get sick while the natural version causes everyone exposed to.
I'll take natural herd immunity over alleged "vaccine induced" herd immunity for $100.
Virii mutate. All "living" things do. As far as "spreading" goes, that has more to do with the ease of global transportation than anything else.
Correct. Actually contributing to the spread and mutation of the disease.
Highlighting the extreme consideration that should be exercised in future vaccine development, this work supports the use of vaccines that also target B. parapertussis as a potentially more efficient way to battle whooping cough.

The ineffectiveness of the vaccine was so glaring, the CDC was forced to defend the unvaccinated (the usual scapegoats)
However, their parents are putting them [unvaccinated kids] at greater risk of getting a serious pertussis infection and then possibly spreading it to other family or community members.
DTaP vaccines are 80-90% effective. Among kids who get all 5 doses of DTaP on schedule, effectiveness is very high within the year following the 5th dose – at least 9 out of 10 kids are fully protected.
However, these diseases were already on the decline due to advances in medical science and sterilization/sanitation. The following data is derived from The Vital Statistics of the United States
In 2011, there were an extra 47,500 new cases of NPAFP ("non-polio acute flaccid paralysis"). Clinically indistinguishable from polio paralysis but twice as deadly, the incidence of NPAFP was directly proportional to doses of oral polio received.

If there was some big scary coverup, there wouldn't be a frickin' compensation scheme for the public. They wouldn't be paying out $3 BILLION and advertising it on their website!

So, you think that every claim is valid?
