When my grandmother was a child in rural Tennessee, there was a great typhoid epidemic. She would tell us how her mother had 13 children. They would be burying one, one would be in the parlor for view, and a third would be just coming down. My great-grandmother lost all her children, save one, my grandmother. When my mother was a teenager, she watched a neighbor with untreated Syphilis go mad, and die a tortuous death. When penicillin was invented, many ignorant folk believed it was "of the Devil." When I was about twelve, a classmate came down with polio. I watched her slowly lose the ability to walk, and finally die. She caught it just before a vaccine was discovered, a vaccine that possibly saved my ass. The problem with your thesis is that any "advice" you get about vaccines (or anything else medical for that matter) on the internet is written by someone who has no degree in virology, immunology, or any other field of medicine. In fact, I would argue the preponderance are written by individuals who have never had a college level course in science or medicine. If you want to be skeptical, I can appreciate that. Do your due diligence. Take come college level medical courses. Attend a medical conference discussing the efficacy and safety of the vaccine of your choice. Make an informed decision. But for God's sake, don't be part of the misinformation campaign. Could you live with yourself knowing some simple-minded individual took your advice as gospel? In order for your post to be accurate, the entire world's medical community would have to be in on a global hoax to harm mankind. Meditate on that for a bit. To me, the concept is beyond irrational.
