Vaccines are not dangerous and there is a large body of evidence that shows that they are perfectly safe. The antivaxers cannot overcome Koch's postulates, so they have decided to rely on fallacious reasoning (emotionally charged arguments), anecdotal evidence, and in some cases blissful ignorance. Even those bodies which many claim to be proof of their claims cannot be trusted due to the non-response bias present within the reporting. Those individuals who have meningitis right now and have passed away, as result of the steroid shots, have fungal meningitis, not bacterial. FYI there is a difference between viral, bacterial, and fungal meningitis. As for vitamin d3, do you understand the flaws that were present in the few studies that trumpeted its efficacy? [/quote] 1- 1990-1991-A questionnaire designed to evaluate risk factors for meningococcal disease among college students was sent to 1900 universities, resulting in a 38% response rate. Forty-three cases of meningococcal disease were reported during the 2 years from colleges with a total enrollment of 4,393,744 students, for a low overall incidence of 1.0 per 100,00 population per year. However, cases of meningococcal disease occurred 9-23 times more frequently in students residing in dormitories than in those residing in other types of accommodations. The low response rate and the inability of the study to control for other factors make these results difficult to interpret. [/quote]

So I'm deciding to go back to school and I'm debating if I should take the vaccine or opt out? I've already requested the Opt Out form which will be coming in a few days, but I'm still undecided?
What do you guys think and why?
Please serious answers
