Essay for vaccination

[danika_ni_sidhe]

While I don't have children, I feel very strongly that all children must be vaccinated, especially now that the courts have proven the link between autism and vaccines specious.

I found this essay on Slate presenting a perfect reason why people should: it's not just about you.

These people are being dangerously selfish. Sure its selfish to want to protect your child, but its also selfish to do so at the risk of the child population at large. I have to wonder how much of this "movement" is about protecting their child, or attempting to avoid the rigors of raising a child with special needs.

My big thing: if the link were conclusive, then my sister and I and everyone we met overseas would have autism because we have shot records that look like medical journals.
