    I am for childhood vaccines because the disease is often more of a risk to life than the vaccine is. I play the numbers game, if the risks are higher from the disease than the prevention, I go with prevention.

    For example, my daughter and myself don't get flu shots, why we are often exposed to flu in others, but have not had it to date. My brother gets the flu every year, he should get a flu shot. My mom is over 80 she needs a flu shot.

    Against. Why? Because they are bullcrap! They almost never do anything.
    And this is why me, (and my 23 year old brother) are terrified of the Doctor because EVERY SINGLE TIME WE GO, they give us a shot for no reason whatsoever. I don't care if I sound or act childish, I'm terrified of thin sharp needles that stick into my skin for no reason. It's stupid. They either love seeing me cry in pain, or give me a shot for what they say will help, but will really make me sick.

    I'm for them. An ounce of (actual) prevention is better than a pound of usually non-existent cure.

    Really, they do nothing. Well, then it's a good thing that polio decided to mutate itself out of existence right around the time everyone started getting vaccinated.

    All the science against vaccines is bogus, and there are very few reasons not to get them (obviously if you are allergic to vaccine components you should not get them). And after reading the history of the Spanish flu and the development of the first flu vaccine I've never missed a shot (unless there's a shortage and then I defer so that people more vulnerable can get them instead).
