Joachim, The problem with your argument is the leap from “vaccines reduce disease” to “vaccines can eradicate disease if only everyone complied.” That simply isn’t true in general. You couldn't be more wrong if you tried. I repeat: Measles were eradicated in the United States in 2000. This was internationally recognized by the World Health Organization. The cause of the eradication was determined to be high vaccination rates, which is why vaccinations were pushed toward the rest of the world, especially the Third World where measles remained a significant health issue. The ONLY reason why the status of "eradicated" was rescinded was because of you anti-vaxxers. All your arguments stem from the notion that "bodily autonomy" matters more than the eradication of diseases, as if said "autonomy" was ever in danger. You were always free to refuse vaccines, but the consequences of your st00pidity reaches far beyond the limits of you and those in close contact with you. Tenchusatsu
