The anti-vax thing is not a debate, just like the creationism thing is not a debate. It should not be treated as such. It's a question of how to deal with irresponsible acts of able-minded adults threatening childrens health. Empathy and education may help, but in the end, no deviation from the scientifically proven right way can be allowed, lest children be threatened by diseases we've conquered decades ago. So inform and educate to the extent possible. Then if that fails, sue them for parental neglect and passive biological warfare or whatever. This is creationism/"intelligent design" all over, but with real consequences in the real world. I'm prepared to accept a lot of relatively harmless idiocy, but this is where I pull the line. And I think John Rawls (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rawls#The_Original_Position http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rawls#The_Original_Positio... ) would agree with me.
