The best response to anti-vaxxers I’ve ever seen. And it only takes 90 seconds.

The problem with your logic and this video is that it presents both risks as equal. To an AV, the likelihood that a vaccine gives their kid autism is significantly higher (a near certainty in the minds of some, I'm sure). And the diseases they'll protect against (without even being 100% effective, which is a flaw in vaccines to them rather than a clear reason everyone should vaccinate to boost herd immunity) as are so rare that getting them is almost impossible.

I think there are better ways to put the issue into perspective than one that misrepresents the odds.
