People who deny their kids vaccination should have them removed and placed with mentally sound foster parents.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

I can't believe we have a small minority of parents refusing to allow their kids to have vaccinations. Not only is it beneficial for their children, it benefits society as a whole.

Curious, isn't it. Four responses, and every single one of the four has chosen to respond to the (in relative terms) short-term and trivial form of ignorant denial of known facts - the form which only kills or injures a handful of people and has no great harmful long-term effect on humanity as a whole - as opposed to the far more serious and, in the long term, far, far more dangerous and harmful delusion.

Why is it so?

Because the first answer mentioned it and we were all agreeing!

I hope this is sarcasm, because I've heard this exact argument before and it's so beyond ridiculous. Chimps and Humans share a common ancestor, we didn't 'come from chimps'.

God created man and decides who dies and when. God created similarities between man and primates to give man a reason do doubt Him so that he knows who He takes to heaven and who rots in hell for eternity.

And yea, spake the Lord: in the latter days trolls shall make mockery of my words, whilst others believe in all sorts of abominations, such as anthropogenic climate change, and also theoretical physics. And in that day man will not know whether confusion over our evolutionary heritage shall be real or satire; and that great beast, Tannin, shall make a point and it shall be thoroughly neglected in favour of talk of vaccination. Amen.
