Do some research. Look at disease rates before and after vaccination for specific diseases became widespread. Look at child mortality rates then and now.

And look up what full-blown cases of some of these diseases can do.

TB is on the rise - and some of it resistant to every drug we can throw at it.
Measles keeps breaking out in the US, centered on unvaccinated populations. You want your kids dead, blind, or severely brain-damaged?
How about whooping cough? You want to watch helplessly as your child, wracked with pain, struggles to breathe?
Polio still exists in the world, too (specifically because “skeptical” conspiracy theorists blocked vaccination in part of Nigeria), and some traveler could bring it home to your neighborhood. Enjoy your iron lung.

I could go on, but I have better things to do than do your homework for you. (Besides, the doctors have done their homework. And if you don’t trust them, why would you trust me?)
