Good thing there are plenty of anti-vaxxer cranks to counterbalance that view. I haven't really looked into it but I'll bet dollars to donuts the science is nowhere near as "settled" as someone like Godstud believes it is. It's probably a lot more complicated than the vague simplistic notions most people have about it. I don't know much about vaccines but based on my experience with similar controversies it's safe to assume vaccines aren't as safe and effective as officialdom claims.
Yeah, it's probably a bad idea to give the state that much power in this system of corporate politics. I don't really want big pharma lobbyists, revolving door regulators, corrupt politicians, and corporate executives having the final say over what gets injected into our children.
The media hypes it to keep folks compliant. Fear tactics are an effective means of crystallizing public opinion.

Governments are coercing parents into vaccinating their children and it’s flat out wrong. The legal ramifications for governments forcing vaccines on individuals who are not their wards might come back to bite them.

The hysteria around mandatory vaccination has me thinking we’re a hairs breath from an outbreak of the plague. When a cluster of kids get measles it makes the front page of the daily rag ffs.
WTF has happened?
