Unless you have a legitimate medical reason for not getting a vaccination you are just a dirtbag.
Your opinion.
What if your medical reason is the mounting evidence that some vaccines DO pose potential dangers. Even if the risk of something like Guillain-Barre is small, everyone should have the freedom to opt out.
FWIW, I know someone who was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre after receiving a flu shot. I know my risks of doing the same is minimal. But it's still a risk I don't want to take.
For something like measels, polio, etc - I accept that vaccinations are a positive. For something like the Flu, which changes constantly and is rarely deadly, I'll take my chances.
FWIW, I've never had the shot OR the flu. Neither has anyone else in my household.

My opinion has vastly more and credible research behind it. Citing the vanishingly small chance of a complication vs the much greater chance of getting a preventable diseases (nevermind everything else you do in life that carries a much higher chance of injury) is idiotic at best. The flu only changes among a few common strains (which is why there are tri- and quadrivalent vaccines) and kills thousands every year in the US.
