So far its just been "i was vaccinated and then I was sick, so obviously it was the vaccinations, therefore vaccines are bad for you."
Exactly.

I know it is hard for you to realize that vaccines can be dangerous this is because you have been conditioned to believe what you believe, by people who you believe are qualified and therefore must be doing the right thing. To believe such things is to be hoodwinked, your not seeing the truth because of the white coats standing in the way.
I know there is a lot of info that makes vaccines look good, but there is also a lot of info that goes against your beliefs. As I said, we have to make our own choice, just like religion, there is so many beliefs on both sides. I know you don't believe in a god, but at the same time you worship those who wear the white coat, or the name science, its all the same.
I have my beliefs and I'm sticking to that, well at least until someone can give me absolute truth. You have your beliefs, but your truth comes from the very ones who are pulling the wool over your eye's.
No, I have not been 'conditioned' and I find it insulting that you presume so.
I have studied the science; have you? It does not appear so.
Vaccines have small risks and huge benefits. Those are the facts.
Your beliefs do not trump the facts; you are simply incorrect.
Absolute truth? Sorry, no, science is based on evidence.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

I remember all my friends getting measles and chicken pox, and not one ever had any problems. Anyway it comes down to what we believe is best, there is too much cover up going on with the very people who dish that crap out, and there is so many against it with stupid theories, so again we have to do our own research and come to our own conclusions.
What you do may come do to what you believe is best. You are entitled to your opinion. But you aren't entitled to your own facts. Vaccines do an enormous amount of good and the side affects are either benign (slight fever for a day) or practically non-existent.
I'm sorry you became ill not long after taking a vaccine, but correlation does not equal causation. I'll give you an example from our household. My husband has been having an allergic rash. He suspected our new laundry detergent. So we dotted a little of it on his skin to see if he reacted to it. He didn't, but the next day the rash was all gone and it hasn't come back. So, do you think the laundry detergent cured him? Because that is exactly the kind of one off, unlikely correlation you are drawing between your illness and a vaccine.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

I still want her to explain the history of vaccines to me. It seems to me that every time we come across a new vaccine, a previously deadly disease becomes a near non-factor. If vaccines are so bad, wouldn't illnesses get worse, not better, when a new vaccine comes out?

For me this thread isn't about evidence, its more about what I believe is right and my right to believe what I do. To truly find the truth out there is like trying to find the truth about the bible, there is so much distortion on both parties.

There's not distortion on both sides, only on the side of the anti-vaccers. The pro-vaccers have the overwhelming preponderance of evidence.

Yeah psycho...you can believe what you like, but as soon as you start claiming things as reality (which we other people inhabit) you need some evidence. Like any, at all. Especially if you're recommending people take a specific course of action, like not vaccinating their kids...

It's not the thread that gives you depression.
IT'S THE VACCINES!
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

Well you stick to your beliefs and I'll stick to mine, or can't you handle that ?.

I have already shared some evidence, your just too focus on your own beliefs, your no different than a fundamentalists Christian, who treasures his dogma.
