    Quote: The purpose of a vaccination IS to build up resistance. I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'innoculating ourselves out of existance'. Sometime vaccination can 'almost' innoculate diseases out of existance (such as Polio or Smallpox). Quote: I think most studies would agree with...

    To those who did NOT or will not vaccinate
