You've now made an informed decision as a result - as have I

I would disagree, by choosing to be an anti-vaxxer you are ignoring all scientific evidence and are thus uninformed. (Edit: Although I originally said uninformed, a better word would be misinformed, sorry)

Personally, I've debated with many anti-vaxxers on steemit and beyond. The problem is they continually recycle the same 3 talking points that have been repeatedly proven wrong time and time again. They'll then bring up websites that are nothing more than a nutcase's blog that has been copied and pasted to a million other nutcase's blogs

When you point this out, they will immediately accuse you of being a pharma shill despite the fact they are invested in many holistic or otherwise alternative medicine businesses that profit off of unsubstantiated fears of vaccines and actual medicine.

As someone who is pro-vaccination, I wouldn't mind if you refused to vaccinate if that choice only affected you.

By choosing not to vaccinate you hurt your children who cannot choose for themselves, the people who cannot get vaccinations due to legitimate medical reasons, and everybody you ever come in contact with as you weaken the herd immunity.

If you want proof of the damage anti-vaxxers can do, then just look up the numerous measles outbreaks that have occurred in areas that see an increase in anti-vaxxer beliefs.
