To Vaccinate or Not

[Nicholas]

This is the central issue of the dilemma—there may be good in vaccinations, but there is also bad—hence what to do? So I would honor any parent who actually makes the agonizing decision to vaccinate or not, based on their own conclusions and research. 

Yes!

The heart of the matter is honouring the sovereignty of the individual first. My reservations about pro vaccine and anti vaccine positions are the attempts made to persuade others with emotionally loaded sentences. Bill Gates pretty much said that if you advocate against vaccination then you are a killer. How more loaded and divisive can you get than "...you killed them".

For what it is worth I immediately lurched into the anti vaccine position purely from watching Bill on TED and in interviews. Then I realised the same tactics being employed their too. I think a good dosage of meditation is the go to source for whether to vaccinate or not, send the call for guidance and be attentive towards the signposts.
