Mo, the number of children killed or damaged by vaccination is minuscule compared to the number damaged by not- vaccination. I know each individual case is devastating for the parents concerned, but so is death or damage caused by disease. As Emma pointed out, infection rates have shot up since the MMR scare, puffed by the newspapers, caused many parents to opt out of vaccination. Infection rates have only been low because most children are vaccinated- in a way, the parents who refuse to vaccinate are parasitic on the majority. Don't forget that many children at risk are below the age for vaccination.

As for our friend no needles, that kind of let's-scare-everyone woo (oo-er chemicals, ba-a-a-a-d) just ignores the simple fact that since mass vaccination, it has been a fair bet that your children will survive.
