These people tend to be conspiracy minded, so just say, "if a foreign power
wanted to weaken the US, wouldn't getting people to stop vaccinating and bringing back eradicated diseases be an effective way to do that?!"

It's too bad she's already pregnant because if kids weren't involved that level of crazy would be grounds for divorce

Absolutely correct

You would really divorce your wife if she was against vaccinating?

Absolutely I would. It would be an indication that she is unintelligent and unreasonable and I wouldn't want to stay

Just stop. There is ZERO evidence that vaccines cause autism, or trigger autism, or have ANYTHING to do with autism

Study after study has failed to show any causal link between vaccinations and autism.

There is a steo ger correlation with vaccinees and car accidents.

I think a big part is acknowledging and validating their concerns. There ARE adverse side effects to vaccinations.

Hopefully nobody. But that is often the perception people who are opposed to vaccines have.

True, however it is very clear at this point autism is not one of those risks

There's a LOT we still don't know about autism.

It's a tough issue because it involves individual freedom vs. greater good
