RE: Finish the following sentence: The MMR vaccine causes [BLANK]

Really late reply but I am 100% in the line of thinking that being critical of anything really is the best way for any individual to make any decision about anything.

Look at the data, look at the interpretations, look at both sides of the coin and then decide for ourselves...

After doing so, if any individual comes to a conclusion, they can sleep soundly knowing they are comfortable with it and looked at the possibilities.

Cheers!

better late than never! I agree with that.

I'm not of the mind to tell people that they're wrong, if they look at the data and decide for themselves or for their kids what they should do.

And, I want the same in return.

Hahaha, exactly...

Good philosophy (on telling people they are wrong), we are mostly all adults here so respect is important! I like your post from yesterday too!

Cheers!

Ya. Sometimes I get the vibe from the pro-vaccine people that they actually want the government to force people to use vaccines, whether or not they want to. Or a softer version, they say it's child endangerment and that you're a bad parent.

Not allowed to disagree and make your own choice, basically.

But it's nice to see there are others, like in this thread, who are trying to educate and persuade and not force their view.

I don't like anyone being forced to do anything! Hahaha. But that being said, as mentioned before, doing research and coming to our own conclusions is a good thing.

Maybe polio is really bad news and should be considered for most people, but a flu shot is not really necessary? Not sure!

I have seen people with polio in Africa and it is pretty scary. Clearly these people are still living but with a difficult condition. But I have also had the flu and I am still here... thus do I need a flu shot every year?

right! I agree with all that. Being skeptical or not wanting to use them doesn't mean you reject all possibility of them being useful in certain scenarios.

and being useful in those scenarios doesn't mean flu vaccine etc is necessarily needed
