Treating people like vectors violates both the Hippocratic Oath and the Kantian dictum that humans should not be means to an end, but only ends to themselves.
You can justify dangerous immunizations on the amoral grounds of cost-effectiveness, but not on the more important grounds of ethics.
There is no harm in raising a fuss or even a brouhaha about the relatively slow pace of improvement in vaccines, especially as it concerns the willful introduction of mercury into vaccines.

Some vaccines were and are preserved in a solution that is nearly 50% methylmercury or ethylmercury. I guess for some it depends on what is an acceptable(as far as number of children) amount of debilatating neurological disorders.

"Treating people like vectors"???? A vector is a point of transmission. An infected person BECOMES a vector, its not a matter of "treating" him as such.
The anti-vaccine people should be forced to view films of third world children dying of childhood diseases.
