And yet anti-vaxxer parents involved in recent childhood morbidity and mortality -- the child death, the child comatose on a feeding tube -- have said this outcome, the child's harm right in front of them, is preferable to vaccination. That they would still make the same choice.

Almost as if this is not really about the child at all, when it comes down to it. Or at least, people walking through this plethora of research and actual scientific, tested information are deliberately choosing to affiliate themselves with such people and ideas for their own reasons, then asking others to justify it for them. To praise or envy them, even. For valuing something about their choices even more than valuing the life and health of their own children.[/quote]

Those parents aren’t swayed by math, statistics or science. In order to make sense of this horrible thing that has happened and to be able to live with themselves, they have to believe that it wasn’t their decisions that led to this outcome. They have to believe that the vaccine would have likely been worse, especially if things had gone well.  Statistics is very hard for many people to understand for some reason.
