The Arguments
Vaccines are “toxic” and contain antifreeze, mercury, ether, aluminum, human aborted fetal tissue, antibiotics, and other dangerous chemicals that can lead to autism and an assortment of chronic health conditions. Slogan: “Green our Vaccines”. 
Vaccines are a tool of “Big Pharma;” individuals who promote them are merely profiting off of harm to children and/or paid off by pharmaceutical companies (“Pharma shills”). 
A child’s immune system is too immature to handle vaccines; they are given “too many, too soon” and the immune system becomes “overwhelmed,” leading to autism and an assortment of chronic health conditions. 
“Natural immunity is better;” most vaccine-preventable diseases are harmless to most children, and natural exposure provides more long-lasting immunity. eg, “I had the chickenpox as a kid and I was just fine.” Some individuals may also have the mistaken belief that all “natural” infections confer life-long immunity, whereas all vaccine-derived immunity is short-lived. 
Vaccines have never been tested in a true “vaccinated versus unvaccinated” study; the vaccines in the current schedule have never been tested collectively. 
Diseases declined on their own due to improved hygiene and sanitation; “vaccines didn’t save us.” 
Vaccines “shed” (can be transmitted by vaccinated individuals to others); therefore, cases of vaccine-preventable diseases in the population are driven by the vaccinated, not the unvaccinated.
