Now, take in to account the risk of not having the vaccines. Even taking in to account herd immunity, the probabilities of contracting whooping cough or mumps are far higher than the probability of a negative effect from the vaccine. And the effects of contracting those diseases are far, far worse than the (actual and fictional) reactions to the vaccine.

I know.. but my point wasn't that people should avoid vaccines because they pose a tiny risks. Like I said, I don't advocate avoiding them, because the risks ARE small.
But I also feel that forcing a vaccine into someone is disgustingly immoral. If everything was done like that, because it's better on a wider scale... The world would be a very scary place and I would want no part of it.
It's better to just encourage people through means other than forcing them. There are plenty of studies done on how to motivate people to do things, and it's a lot better than holding down people and forcing a needle into them. It's just inhumane.
But let me just repeat again: I don't advocate avoiding vaccines! x_x Just because I don't want people to be forced into them, it doesn't mean I'm against them.
