Really - I'm not convinced

Well we don't always feel we have to do what everyone tells us - sometimes you have to look at the good and bad of getting a shot. There's a lot of people that never get any vaccinations and they're just fine. We're not totally for it either - anyone else have a thought of what they would do.
