But you have had your MMR shots and I'm sure you've been happy to be measles free.
I'm not in favour of a mandatory immunization for something thats hastily developed either, but no developed country is going to force that on you. They can't release a vaccine thats untested, and of course that doesn't mean that there aren't risks. There are risks with all types of medicine we take. Kidney issues from Advil, adverse mental health effects from antidepressants, danger of dependancy from opiates, but the world without medications means we just deal with these illnesses and leave them untreated. Theres a reason people live longer now, and it's not luck.
