Honestly I don't think most "anti vax" people are even "all vaccines are evil." The ones i know are more about why can't we choose which ones?" They make it so it's get them all or claim exemptions. Plenty of parents don't want the hpv one for example.

I just wish this whole thing was treated like science and not politics. Why are both sides so nasty about it all? I think if the medical community would just be ok with their real side effects just like all other meds, there would be less push back. All the fear mongering from both sides needs to stop. So does the ridiculing...
