Well, there are anti-vaxxers as they were known pre covid, who were people against all vaccines, based on shoddy recommendations from the depths of the internet, and there are "anti-vaxxers" as they are known now, which are people who are hesitant to take the covid vaccine.

I take a big issue with the old school anti-vaxxers who put the lives of their children at risk by depriving them of vaccines that have decades of safety and efficacy data, and will instead treat them with snake oil. I take no issue with anyone who makes a conscious decision for themselves to not take a brand new vaccine that isn't even FDA approved. These two types of people are now being conflated for political purposes.

Why is it a big issue? If people don't want it and their choice in the end will be fatal what does it matter to you? And in my point of view if you think that putting poison in healthy people will help them, I don't take a issue with it. Be my guest and let your children be vacinated. Fair enough right?

I don't care what you do to yourself. I take issue when people put their kids at risk through sheer ignorance. Nobody is in a position to force you to do anything to your kids or to take the power of consent away from the parent (except is some limited circumstances that I'm not going to get into), but it is still misguided at best, and stupid at worst. The risk is exceedingly minimal, the benefit is massive, childhood mortality has plummeted since vaccines were introduced, fatal and debilitating childhood diseases that used to be common and virtually non existent, etc. But naturalnews says vaccines are poison so let's disregard 70 years of data. Sorry, I take issue with it because it's stupid. Putting kids at risk due to sheer ignorance is stupid. You may not like it, but that doesn't make it any less stupid.

Had to make an account just to respond to your ignorance. You're a fucking moron and know nothing about statistics. Actually try to look at vaccine statistics sometime chief. Will gladly educate you about everything you said here, all of which is wrong.
