Measles cases hit record high in Europe
#12
RE: Measles cases hit record high in Europe
Let's pretend that vaccines can cause autism, but that they do so at a rate lower than the chances of your kid dying without the vaccine.

Would you vaccinate your kid under these circumstances? Is this an accurate portrayal of an anti-vaxer's situation, as they see it?

Let's say we shift the numbers a bit (I'm just going to make it up) so that a vaccine:

-Has a 0.001% chance of stopping your kid dying
-Has a 0.003% chance of giving your kid autism

Would you apply the vaccine now? If so, how much further would you push these numbers and still apply it?
Feel free to send me a private message.
