Pro. I think being vaccinated should be a pre-requisite for being in public schools, kindergardens etc.
The vaccines may not be perfect - but that's not a valid point. It's just statistics. If you can do one thing that has a higher chance of saving your own and other people's children - or you can do it and have a lower chance. Then there's a decission. One is good. One is bad.
Depends on who you want to be as a parent then.

@Lucia There are many many court cases won for life-time damage caused by vaccines.
If there is a better, more natural way, without the bad side-effects of vaccines, wouldn't you want to know about it?
What makes you think that doctors know everything? They preach what they are thought. And they are not even tought much nutrition if at all. And if they don't prescribe what they are thought they will lose their license. How can I trust them then? when big pharma is dictating, through them, what people should be taking. Especially when they also are paid for recommending one drug/vaccine or another.
I would never let another decide my faith, unless I first investigated and came to that conclusion myself. I didn't realized this all my life. But after using the system for a while you can see that it does not have all the answers. Is definitely needed for acute situations, but traditional doctors don't treat us holistically, so how can they ever find and treat the real cause?
Also I believe that our immune system is the one that saves/heals us from anything. Anything else is there to help, if not do the reverse.
We should never accept anything without first understanding it. Otherwise we will suffer the consequences, plus lead a brainless life that is basically not our own. Exaclty like cattle.

@sunlight We should accept things without understanding them. It's called confidence in others. We should be skeptical and seek the conflicting thoughts of other bright minds that also has information - and who has solid grounds for their viewpoints.
What we shouldn't do is accept youtube videos and blogs as the truth. We don't know who creates them or why - except when they lead to websites advocating 'natural' diets, supplements or behaviour - which is then taught or sold conveniently by their partners. In my opinion the ruthless capitalism is even worse in these sites, because they tell you that 'natural' is always superior to medicinal. Which is not true. In the past millions of people died from simple diseases or birth. Then we learned what went wrong, and we found solutions to combat 'natural' which was the very thing that killed us. And then people who would have died, lived.
There are millions of things in this world I don't understand, but accept. I accept that too much sugar is bad for me. But I never saw or felt it on my own body. And I had a lot of it in my life. I accept that gravity is real, eventhough I don't understand how it works. I accept that Spanish is a language, eventhough I do not understand it.... I could go on with a million examples.
Also 'big pharma' might be a problem in some areas of the world. I don't really care. It's not a problem where I live. And most of the vaccines that are given to children have been tested for years and years - and has been working well for millions, if not billions, of people.
And no, I don't think doctors know everything. But I know how the first idea of vaccines was found out - and that the idea to proceed this direction was brilliant.
Just because doctors don't know everything, doesn't mean they don't know more about health than you and I do. They spend a lifetime learning and working in this field. They make scientific discoveries which are published and peer reviewed - and built upon - by other doctors, and other professions for years and years. Mistakes will be found by their peers because there is so much honor to be had in refining the understanding of that very field.
The immune system is, yes, the thing that saves us. It's also the part that is helped by the vaccines to understand and eliminate threats before they become an illness.
What people who oppose vaccines are actually doing is taking away security from their children, because they need to feel they are in control, and are making good decissions on their behalf. They are not. It's statistics. If 1.000.000 people get the vaccine, xx people will suffer from it, who wouldn't. If the 1.000.000 do not get the vaccine, >xx people will suffer seriously or even die.
But if you need to make your children a tool to feeling special, smart and bright, at the cost of endangering them and others (who can't get vaccines) - I understand. I just wont forgive.
