(34,375 posts)as you like to pretend. And, to repeat, name calling and broad brush denigration does not encourage families who are trying to make responsible decisions about vaccinations to be open to the possibility of vaccinating. to consider at least selective vaccination - for example. The only place such families who have legitimate concerns about vaccinations find anything but universal condemnation and name calling is from people who truly ignore all scientific evidence. Your (and others') condemnation - and insistence that there is only good and evil with respect to vaccinations drives with legitimate concerns about vaccinations to reject vaccinations entirely - rather than, for example, at least selectively vaccinating for the most harmful illnesses.
In other words, simplistically insisting there are only two options, makes matters worse.
