which is it, vaccinate or not to vacicnate. anti-vaxxers are unlikely to vacciante.

Yes. Because they don't trust the vaccinations and won't accept the risk of side effects to their body. Because if those side effects hit them, there is no help to get anywhere.

There isn't even a way to prove that a random symptom that occurs in your body may be from a vaccine. There is absolutely no way to know where it came from.

What side effects are you describing? Specific ones?

Living to old age.

As a parent myself it's quite the dilemma :

Will I risk to inflict minor side effets such as fever for a few days AND imaginary side effects like autism to my children ?
Or should I put my kids in danger of dying or suffer brain dammage because I obviously know better than decades of research and use of the vaccine with my two degrees in french and english litterature.

Fuck life is hard

As a parent, the bit dilema i face is different diagnostics by different doctors, or different treatments for the same one.

The dilemma I don't have is about vaccinations. They all agree vaccination is the right thing to do following the official schedule.
