    Here’s are my primary rebuttals to vaccine skeptics:

    “Vaccines cause autism” - so you’d rather have a dead kid than an autistic one.

    “Don’t trust the science behind them” - then you probably shouldn’t trust the science behind anaesthesia either.

    “I have an immune system, I don’t need a vaccine” - You have legs, you don’t need a car.

    “We did okay for thousands of years without them” - We as a species didn’t spend the majority of our existence crammed into cities incubating disease. Even then, we had things like the plague which killed a third of Europe.

      Those are good rebuttals. I’d even go further with the immune system one and say “You have feet, you don’t need shoes”. The vaccines just help your immune system out, they don’t replace it
