What OP really means-
After considering the risk vs. benefit for vaccinating my kids, I came to the conclusion that the risks outweigh the benefits. Risks- maybe there is some truth to vaccines and autism, mercury or aluminum risks... and of course the vaccines will cause my kids pain and possibly give them a fever... Benefits- none. Everyone in my neighborhood vaccinates, my kids won't be exposed to any of these diseases. Let them take the risks and we'll all enjoy the same benefits. Wait a minute, I just realized something. My kid can still get tetanus if he gets cut by the uneven metal in the playground monkey bars. He won't be protected by everyone else in the neighborhood who got their tetanus vaccines. I guess now the risk seems more worth it. What does everyone else think? Of course, no attacks allowed.
