[quote=Turtlicious] Yes, just so you know, vaccines don't cause autism or something weird like that.e: also you not getting vaccinated puts the rest of us in danger. [/quote] For the sake of explaining this to people who think that vaccination makes anyone who is vaccinated completely immune, thus making not vaccinationg yourself a problem only you have to face; this is only partially true. You see, in a small faction of people who get vaccinated, the vaccination doesn't quite take. Alternatively, they may be allergic to something in the vaccination fluid, thus making it impossible for them to get vaccinated. Or maybe they're simply too young to get a vaccination. There are several legitimate reason why one is not vaccinated yet. Anyway, this is not a problem due to something known as group immunity. Simply put, if enough people in a given group are immune to a virus, said virus cannot spread, thus also protecting the people who aren't immune to it. In addition, due to so few people actually being able to catch the virus in the first place, the virus can't mutate, thus allowingthe vaccination to keep working. This, however, changes if too many people lose their immunity (Read: don't get vaccinated). When the immunity grade dips below a certain point, the virus can spread and mutate again, putting [i]everyone[/i] at risk. Think of it of a tin can pyramid. You can easily remove a few cans here and there without causing the entire structure to collapse in on itself. But remove too many, and the pyramid will come down. So yes, not vaccination yourself [i]is[/i] someone else's problem too. For this reason, I'm all in favour of obligatory vaccination, with the only exception being aforementioned allergy.
