Well, again, me as a parent vaccinates his kids, and myself too for that matter. It's the only sane thing to do.

People who don't but live in "the West" are worse off in expectation but for most, not by much. They can mostly afford anti-vax BS because some good soul in a well equipped ICU looks after the kiddos.

But if this nonsense rubs off on people in poor places, if they start doubting the safety of vaccines because some influencer on Twitter says so, then that's a huge tragedy. To me at least.

I'm not in any way saying not vaccinating your children for no reason is ever a good idea.
