Arguing with Anti-Vaxxer friend

I think there's also an element of success in this anti-vaccine movement. We have the luxury to complain about how corrupt Big Pharma is because we don't have these horrendous, preventable and/or eradicable diseases out there because of vaccines and medicines that cure and prevent them. It's easy to forget that we didn't even have antibiotics until not all that long ago, so if you had something like TB, you were basically fucked.

If people were still being wiped out by smallpox, I doubt anyone would object to getting their kids vaccinated for it.
