I’d like to start with a few facts so the other side can make their argument.

"Okay so my phone glitched and cut my part short, just thought I should add that.
I already mentioned the 9%, so adding that shouldn't have happened.
Among the few religions with an absolute objection to vaccines include:
- Churches that rely on faith healing including small Christian churches that believe in faith healing over medical care, such as Church of the First Born, End Time Ministries, Faith Assembly, Faith Tabernacle, First Century Gospel Church.
- The First Church of Christ, Scientist—Christian Scientists believe in healing through prayer and think that vaccines aren't necessary
These religions make up less than 0.5% of america.
Parental beliefs are bullshit. I'm just saying this now. You're 100 times more likely to be hit with lightning than you are to have an allergic reaction to vaccines. Any WELL EDUCATED parent wouldn't refuse to get their kid vaccinated. They say its dangerous, unhealthy, causes autism etc which all together just isn't true.
Lets say you could refuse vaccinations due to religion and allergies. That's still only 9.5% of the US and is still enough to get everyone else vaccinated so we can eradicate many viruses. Vaccines don't only eradicate viruses, they protect those who get it from them.
Here is a direct quote from the CDC website.
"An August 27, 2010MMWRreport entitled “Thompson MG et al. Updated Estimates of Mortality Associated with Seasonal Influenza through the 2006-2007 Influenza Season. MMWR 2010; 59(33): 1057-1062.,” provided estimates of the range of flu-associated deaths that occurred in the United States during the three decades prior to 2007. CDC estimated that from the 1976-1977 season to the 2006-2007 flu season, flu-associated deaths ranged from a low of about 3,000 to a high of about 49,000 people.
On December 9, 2016, CDC posted estimates of seasonal flu deaths from more recent seasons in the United States. CDC estimates that from 2010-2011 to 2013-2014, influenza-associated deaths in the United States ranged from a low of 12,000 (during 2011-2012) to a high of 56,000 (during 2012-2013). Death certificate data and weekly influenza virus surveillance information was used to estimate how many flu-related deaths occurred among people whose underlying cause of death on their death certificate included respiratory or circulatory causes."
If we eradicated influenza alone, we would be saving a mass amount of lives. You can not tell me that these lives are meant to be in vein.
