(4,035 posts)Considering the situation of my brother, I do not accept any non-medical reasons why people don't vaccinate their kids. They are risking other people's lives. They are endangering not only their own kids, but also those like my brother. So I do not mince my words with them. I don't care if you survived every childhood disease ever without any complications, simple numbers should tell you that vaccines save lives. Being autistic is not worse than being a vegetable because you got encephalitis from chicken pox or measles. Being on the autism spectrum is not worse than being deaf, blind, sterile, deformed, having heart defects or any of the other complications from childhood diseases, It certainly isn't worse than being dead, which is a very real alternative when we talk about these diseases.
And yes, I'll call them names, and start with callous idiots who do not care about other human beings, and continue with stupidly self-centered a$$holes.
