>Vaccines can't cover every strain.
True of all vaccines for all diseases.
>So we inject a soup of chemicals into young human body that wasn't made to handle it.
Chemicals? Not so, at least in the layman's sense which is limited to sulfuric acid, caustic soda, pesticides etc. If a vaccine is a "chemical" then so are all the enzymes in your body.
>Vaccines aren't just dead virii anymore like they used to be.
FWIW, the plural of "virus" is "viruses", and vacciness haven't always used "dead" viruses like you claim.
>Polio started decreasing before the vaccine was introduced.
Polio myelitis is a disease found primarily in industrial, hygenic societies. And no, it wasn't necessarily decreasing (I had the three shots plus sugar cube).
>We don't vaccinate for bubonic plague and when was the last major out break of that?
The reason we don't vaccinate for the plague is that it had virtually disappeared by 1990 as a result of a decades-long worldwide vaccination campaign.
>But the idea that vaccines are harmless and thus everybody should take whatever their supposed to is also unwise.
Driving your car isnt' harmless either. Besides, even if you never left your home, you can still be hit by a meteorite (it's happened a few times over the last 50 years).
