Not getting your child vaccines is disturbingly close to the Oregon families who killed their children because they wanted to let God and their faith heal their illnesses away. Instead of relying on well established medical research, you are putting the life of your child in the hands of fate.

Agreed. The guest is clearly highly biased and wholly uninformed.

Well thank god Jim that we have people like you who have decided to be backdoor doctors and decide on the health of those around your child. There is nothing like being ignorant for the sake of selfishness. Way to go.

I just won't understand some people. Those who don't immunize their children are taking risks that are completely un-realistic. They only think about their own children and not what the effect would be on everyone else. Would you rather have smallpox and rubella running rampant and harming children? Of course not; but obviously people don't understand how vaccines have made the world a much healthier place. Of course vaccines have risks but the risks of not giving them is global in its effects.

All I can say is, "Ignorance is bliss." The people who are against vaccines are completely unqualified to make that decision and instead go off of conspiracy type information they find on the internet.
