Hillary Clinton mocks anti-vaccine crowd: 'The earth is round'

[OhZone]

14. I am in favor of vaccines for kids - but -

There is a level of authoritarianism to vaccines that bothers me. Again, if I had a kid, which seems unlikely at this point, I would definitely want him or her to get her shots. But I don't do flu. What authoritarianism? It's very difficult to get information about vaccine ingredients and to make a decision about the product. We're expected to simply take anything along with the vaccine and not complain or investigate safety.

I've argued this before and I get lumped in with anti-vacers by default.

What's wrong with a middle ground where, as consumers, we get a list of ingredients and some background as to safety? If they're really safe, then list the pros and cons like we do with food and many drugs. Why treat vaccines like a secret potion?

I know you can google some things, but vaccines also vary from batch to batch.

I guess I like to be careful about what I put in my body.
