Mandatory Vaccinations

Each individual can't take their own decisions regarding this since it's something that affects more than just himself. You can't take your own decisions regarding murder for the same reason. Also the general population is dumb and uninformed.

I don't know why you are bringing side-effects, of course there are many evil things caused by vaccines. It's simply that the probability of them happening multiplied by the damage caused by them is less than the probability to get the disease it protects from without the vaccine multiplied by the damage caused by that disease. It's the lesser evil, there is no miracle cure.

Getting the vaccine could affect others as well by spreading viruses

The problem of cell-culture contamination has long plagued vaccines. For instance, the polio vaccine given in the late 1950s and early '60s was found to be contaminated by a carcinogenic monkey virus, SV40. All existing stock of the vaccine was allowed to be used up, rather than "erode confidence in the vaccine" by recalling it. Some time after that polio vaccine was introduced, cancer rates in children rose. SV40 is also now showing up in tumors, including cancerous ones.

And some doctors claim that some forms of vaccines can spread the virus: http://www.prisonplanet.com/doctors-conc...virus.html

“the odds of transmitting the virus after receiving the nasal spray are about 2.5 percent,” with children the most susceptible.

“It has been documented that the live viruses from the vaccine can be shed (and potentially spread into the community) from recipient children for up to 21 days, and even longer from adults. Viral shedding also puts breastfeeding infants at risk if the mother has been given FluMist,”

According to the Mayo Clinic, the swine flu scandal of 1976, when more people died from the vaccine than the actual virus, was what caused the live virus to be removed from future vaccines. However, it is admitted that FluMist contains the live virus.

Maybe you think people are stupid and shouldnt have the right to make their own medical choices and take their own risks, but as far as I'm concerned we have rights and one of them it to decide what we allow to be injected into our bodies, especially controversial foreign substances.
