Freedom of speech also means that what a person says can be criticized.
If you are saying that they shouldn't respond to anti-vaxxers then you are the one denying freedom of speech.

That is not what I'm saying at all, freedom of religion. Attacking someone religion is not cool, make a argument that people should be vaccinated is obviously fine. But some of these comments and others I have seen other places show some people have no respect for others choice. A natural birth right, everyone has.

Freedom of religion is not freedom from criticism.

Just because you think it's 'Not cool' doesn't mean people shouldn't do it.
The religious can ignore it or defend themselves. It's a simple system and it works.

So you think it's about choice..

The vaccination is for children ,does the child choose to say no to the vaccination and Does the child get to choose their religious views ?.

No.., I did not think so.
Not much of a choice really is it.

Well a child really can't say no to a vaccination beause their parent will end up forcing them, but religion is a different story. Just because you were "forced" into a religion, doesn't mean other children were "forced" into theirs. A lot of children actually end up straying away from their parents religion. So, yes, they do have their choice of religion.

Being anti-vaccination is a terrible thing. Not only do you risk yourself/children by not being immunized you risk a lot of other people.
All because you read online it causes autism. Its like people who think MSG is bad for you but a lot worse.
If you don't get your child vaccinated he shouldn't be allowed to attend school.

My point was that the people/children in question do not really get a choice on the matter and if the decision has been made because of a religious point of view then the person/child in fact has even less of a choice.
Now we could argue about these religious views and ideals and how they effect todays society but it will become offensive to some ,So there is little point in it.

This video pretty much explains the whole thing better than I ever could.

Haven't watched the video, but I will say that I personally don't get any vaccines. I used to have to get a flu vaccine once a year, every year I would still get the flu really badly. It would always start from about 1 minute after the vaccine. So I won't take any, but if I were going to another country I'd get a vaccine because I don't exactly want to end up contracting some rare ass malaria type shit

I've never had a vaccination in my life, I'm perfectly fine, I don't see the issue

Herd immunity. Because the people around you have had their vaccinations you are less likely to catch anything. The more people who don't get vaccinated the higher change of you catching it.

If everyone else has vaccinations why does one person that doesn't want them need them? How could the people that have vaccinations get sick. On this topic, the flu shot didn't even work this year.
