The war on vaccinating and immunizing young children from deadly and contagious diseases continues to rage on as the anti-vaccination movement grows larger day-by-day. Countless organizations and known public figures are trying to convince parents of the danger of vaccinating. The pros of vaccinating your children include helping out the pharmaceutical industry and the small mom and pop syringe stores, the opportunity to puncture a child with a sharp needle, children become used to the pain of existence, healthier children will become future friendly Chili's waiters, and most importantly, vaccinating children could save a few million children's lives. Cons of vaccinating children include having to go to a place for the process, 100% chance of developing autism, vaccinating children against deadly diseases means they will not suffer them making them into pampered softies, the free lollipops afterwards make unhealthy eating habits, and parents are forced into conforming with research backed actions.

This article is mocking the ridiculous arguments made by supporters of the anti-vaccination movement. The article emphasizes it satire by placing ridiculous arguments in both the pros and con section. The con section truly shows the ignorance of those who are against the vaccinating their children against extremely dangerous diseases. Anti-vaccination is counter productive and dangerous to everyone involved.
