What boggles my mind is that the argument has been widdled down to two sides, vaxers and anti-vaxers. Introducing small amounts of a virus into the human body can definitely strengthen one’s immune system over time, the same way that getting a sting by a bee once can be beneficial. What I haven’t heard debated was the most important and crucial component of the anti-vaccination movement: why the hell is thalidomide, a mercury derivative added to these things?!? Homeopathic remedies, regardless of what one’s opinion of them might be is based on introducing minuscule amounts of substances to raise the body’s tolerance to such reactions within the system. That being said, homeopathic remedies use alcohol tinctures and sugar pills to disperse their product within the body, not a toxic substance that makes crowds have to disperse and take cover when a goddamn thermometer breaks in a classroom. People are idiots.
