However there is definite reason to be wary of vaccines. If you walked in for a routine check up today, and the doctor said "I'm going to give you this shot" you would most likely say "what for?" and if you didn't, well there's your flaw. So then he says "It's good for you, keep you from getting diseases." Then you should say, "which diseases?" and if you didn't, well there's another flaw. Then he says "Oh, very rare diseases that haven't shown up in the US for a hundred years, and a few that really aren't that bad but we'll give it to you anyway". Then you say "are there side effects?" and if you didn't, see above.

I think you can see where this is going. You're basically suggesting not going through this conversation for your own child because we're fortunate to have vaccines when others may not. But some vaccines had their purpose and no longer do because the disease is not likely to spread. And so you're potentially giving your child major side effects to prevent something that may never happen!
