Vaccines are basically like politics: everyone has a very specific opinion, while most people couldn’t explain the basics. And the less educated people are, the more extreme their opinions get. The solution can only be to inform the ones that still can be reached by logic, and take the whole mess with a little bit of humor. So please enjoy the gems we found about science, crazy people and Carol. Have fun!

You won’t take a vaccine because you don’t know what’s in it? Real quick, name all the ingredients in a Pop Tart

A Facebook “acquittance” seriously asked if I was ready for my information to be tracked (by microchip) after the vaccine.
On an iPhone.
Via Facebook.

People say “well what did people do before vaccines/antibiotics/pasteurisation?” as if that’s an argument for going natural.
They died, Carol. A lot of people died.

This vaccine is obviously just another part of Bill Gates’ successful world domination plan, I say as I scroll through my Windows phone and listen to my Zune

Anti-vaxxers: “the government is hiding a cure for cancer!”
Also anti-vaxxers: “no, I don’t want a prophylaxis for liver, esophageal, anal, and cervical cancer, those have toxins.”

Vaccine refusal is like smoking, since your "personal health choice" puts others at risk.
Actually, it's more like making your children smoke.
In a room full of other people's children.
