To Vaccinate or Not

[Shemaya]

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".

That emotional manipulation is a tool to keep us compliant.  We are emotionally manipulated about many things, vaccinations just one of them.  When I see that energy, it is definitely a red flag to me to ask deeper questions.  

I totally agree with you Nicholas.  You can't get much more divisive than calling someone a " killer".  For Gates it's a purposeful , manipulative, us/ them tactic to make people feel guilt or shame if they don't want to follow the herd.
