If there was a vaccination conspiracy, they would need thousands of epidemiologists, virologists and dermatologists to agree, to collude, to bypass everything that it takes to be a doctor and a scientist.
And convince not a single one to come out against vaccinations.
That's not healthy skepticism, that's insanity
Chernobyl was hidden from the Pripyat population for days, and would likely have been for much longer had the Swedes not discovered the radiation. Governments hide things all the time, likely the biggest conspiracies are the ones you never hear about, because someone competent covered it up.
The bottom line is whether or not you believe the people in government are actually caring, selfless, noble, honest individuals... or if you believe they are the same as the rest of us, if not worse since they have power and money there for the taking. Government is made up of all the same scumbags that Citibank is, or Comcast, or Merril Lynch, or Goldman Sachs, or Enron, etc. Does anyone really think the head of the IRS is different at heart than the head of BP?

We're not talking about one country regarding vaccinations. We're talking about the entire medical community. Finding an anti-vac. doc is about as rare as finding a Gator fan in Ben Hill.
Of all the conspiracy theories, those that espouse anti-vaccination ideas are the least credible and the most irrational.
There is legitimately no reason not to get your child vaccinated and most that were obsolete were thrown out.
You are not going to win me over on this one, you may with another line of thought, but definitely not this one.

All it takes for me is to see children coming down with diseases once thought eradicated because parents bought into the baseless fear mongering associated with vaccination to make me think people who spread such fear mongering are the worst kind of people.

Not entirely true.
The locals knew. The USSR as a whole didn't.
