sure i'll respond. im going against the hivemind of /conspiracy so i am sure i will be downovted, but here are my thoughts. some backstory first, a) i was vaccinated when i was a kid, got all my shots. even got another Tb shot a few years back before i traveled abroad...think i got a tentus (spelling) shot recently also but couldnt give you a date... either way, ive been vaccinated. and I also plan on vaccinating my children. now i kinda understand the argument against vaccinations. mostly just taking a doctors word at face value that this will help me and being injected with a random concoction of chemicals that i dont know about is a lil strange and weird. and of course that vaccinations and the need for them keep big pharma rich. i get that. but what i do not get are measels, or the mumps, or tb, or polio, or any fairly serious illness that used to kill thousands of people in the past. and i plan to get my kids vaccinated; not because i am blindly following a doctors orders; but because i don't want my kid to get sick by something that could of been prevented and didnt happen because of my own paranoia. if me and you were having a conversation and the topic of vaccinations came up. after "do whatever you want with your own kids" was said, that would be the end of the conversation. I dont really care what you do with your life. In fact, based on majority of conspiracy theorists and my interaction with them, they would be the one jumping down my throat about using vaccines as opposed to me getting on them for not using them. but to sum up, why do people get up in arms about vaccinations? because you are challenging something that they believe to be 100% true and just questioning that is scary to them and angers them. same reason people fight over religion, or politics...its a clash of opinions about an idea that is held in the highest regard that disagreeing with it is pretty much an insult.
