See you Cowgirl,
Someday, somewhere
Just saw thread title was talking about children.  Point still stands, why spread the flu around and get people sick?  We're not completely immune to it and it's a very shitty time when you get sick.  It's just a simple needle shot and you're done.  That's all you have to worry about.

Vaccines are a necessary evil. It's common knowledge that the mere system of vaccinating people can be harmful, and is much more debilitating than the flu. Now, I'd rather face the consequences of getting vaccinated than let myself be at risk for polio or measles, but it's a testament to American ignorance that people would rather put themselves at extreme risk than accept a 2 or 3 day illness once a year.

Get educated, man. Flu shots are an unnecessary evil.
I can't tell if you're serious

Of course I am. I don't necessarily agree with that entire picture (especially the "cancer" part), but flu vaccines definitely do more harm than good. The flu isn't even a serious enough illness to warrant any kind of mass-produced government remedy.

Huh.  Probably explains why I'm walking around with my only disability being deaf in my left ear.  Probably because of vaccines and not birth defects.  Good God those vaccines I've taken since I was a child have made me so exposed to illnesses that I only get sick once or twice a year.  THE HORROR.

No one's forcing you to do a flu shot, and not everyone gets a flu shot.  Some people decide not to, and end up getting ill.  Meanwhile, I think the rest of us will enjoy our two seconds of prickly, needle-stabbing pain to enjoy not getting sick.

Oh, and something about autism.

My stupidity is self evident.
To be honest, man, of the four sources you posted, none of them are reliable.

Let me grab my MSNBC link real quick BRB

As opposed to, oh I don't know, a real medical journal perhaps?
