Well maybe not. My parents objected to me being vaccinated and I thank them for it. When I travelled overseas to work and needed to get the MMR vaccine I ended up with little red spots all over my body and was sick for about a week.
Side effects for vaccines also include possible infection with the virus. For example Gardasil has a listed infection rate.
As well in the past there have been numerous problems with vaccines. From heavy metal poisoning to long term effects such as brain tumors.
This is not to say that vaccines don't have their place, or that they are inherently evil. It is to say that they are products sold for profit. As such it should fall to the coustomer to decide whether or not to buy.
Also the idea that an unvaccinated individual puts the community at risk is absurd. If the vaccine is supposed to protect from infection than it is ridiculous to think an unvaccinated person could infect one who is.
I would also like to point out that cases of SIDS rise around the same age as mandatory vaccination.
