As for the "science" we have seem many cases where science has been wrong. Off the top of my head, thalidomide was safe, cocaine was great for whatever ailed you, smoking didn't cause cancer and was a great relaxer, you get the picture. Parents should have the final say, if you want it for your kids, get it, if not, don't, but be ready to live with the consequences.

You hit the nail on the head. Anti vaxxers scare people into doubting. It's probably time to show parents what can and does happen to their kids when they fail to look after them by using basic modern medicine.
