And we know that those who are immunized NEVER contract the diseases they’ve been vaccinated against, don’t we?
True, most of the time the symptoms are lessened.
Maybe getting mildly sick versus maybe dying.
Case in point: People have stopped immunizing for pertussis in my area. The incidences have increased dramatically over the past year. I wouldn’t want not have been immunized. Whooping Cough was a pretty nasty disease back in the day.
“Prevention by vaccination is of primary importance given the seriousness of the disease in children.”
