> I'm curious what is the basis for being anti-vax? Is there science behind that notion? There was one study which claimed that vaccines were dangerous, which was both unscientific and unethical, performed by someone with an agenda, and which was retracted. Now it's all about doubt. People are saying 'we just don't know what they do' (we do!), or 'what if they cause autism' (they don't!) or 'it's a personal choice' (it's not!). It doesn't help that in the US, the medical industry is for-profit, the pharmaceutical industry runs rampant, and the public doesn't trust either one because it doesn't have their best interests in mind. That leads to lots of FUD about vaccines (and modern medicine in general) which is difficult to combat.
