vaccination is a waste of money not to mention the possible side effects like nausea and fever after vaccine shot. You may get killed in a million ways and a vaccine only lowers (not eliminating) the risk of certain diseases which you have approximately zero chance to get. Living a healthy life (eat & sleep good, no alcohol or smoking etc.) is the best, safest and easiest "vaccine" imho.

I know some guy who is permanently deaf (completely) in one ear and nearly deaf (wears a hearing aid) in the other because of measles. True story.

I remember they kept denying that their mini-measles outbreak had anything to do with not vaccinating

There was a rainstorm and fog last Friday evening, but that wasn't why my car was wet and I had to wipe off all my windows.

Vaccines not only lower your chances of getting diseases, they also reduce the adverse symptoms of diseases, i.e. you are less likely to experience death or disablement.

So let's hit your assertions:

3. No more need for vaccinations
Anti-vax claim: Because most dangerous diseases have been virtually eliminated in wealthy countries like the United States, vaccinations have basically become unnecessary.

Debunk: It only takes a few cases for an outbreak to resurface in a population with low vaccination coverage. In fact, due to anti-vaccine paranoia, there's been several measles (red) and whooping cough (green) outbreaks in the US recently:

I've watched a few of the antivax videos. Here's one.

I suppose only someone with a medical background could be sure about which side is right and I don't have one. Everybody watch some of the videos and read some of the articles and decide for yourselves.

ROFL "decide for yourselves". Just as stupid as being an antivaxxer.

"Gravity may or may not exist just do the research and decide for yourselves"

Because the general population knows enough about medicine and the human body to make informed decisions and draw rational conclusions from a YT video.

or is it more likely that...

The general population, due to medical ignorance, draws false cause vs correlation and relies on confirmation bias to "decide for themselves"?

Reminds me about the asshats who had TWO children die from easily treatable diseases because they thought they could pray the illnesses away.
