Still anti-vaccination?

At the Park City cemetery, there are the Stanley family tombstones that tell a long and painful story about the prevalence of infant mortality in the late 19th century. 

Annie and Berten Stanley had three kids that died at the ages of 8, 6 and a few months, all of ailments that could have been protected by a simple shot. 

Can you even begin to imagine the heartbreak, pains and suffering of that couple upon helplessly losing three of their kids? 

If you are anti-vaccination today, what would you have said to these people? Just imagine all this and think for a few minute.

I assume that the Stanleys would have loved to be able to protect their kids against what eventually killed them, but there was no vaccine then. 

Conspiracy theories may sound good, cool or intriguing, but at the end, they are as idiotic as they are heartless...
