There are a range of reasons why parents avoid vaccinations, or a specific vaccination, and I find it incredibly arrogant when doctors (or medical students for that matter) presume both to know and to disparage them. I find it interesting that herd immunity is declared to be the responsibility of each and every one of us when the complications that can arise for an individual as a result of vaccine damage are the problem of the individual family alone. Perhaps when the state assumes moral and financial responsibility for such children (as in the US), parents will feel more public spirited. I also find it utterly odious that the person quoted in the original article speaks in terms of vaccination of children being a mother's responsibility.
