Thank you for the candid and well-cited response!

> So, basically, if the risk of contracting and or having the illness is low, and if it doesn't needlessly endanger others (like MMR refusal for school-aged children) then I am going to take a good hard look at whether we really need the vaccine.

But there-in lies why I would label you anti-vaccine. If the risk of disease is relatively low, you decline vaccine's - regardless of whether or not they are safe (e.g. " Gardasil seem to have low efficacy WRT to the (possible) risks of the vaccine").

> Anti-vaccine means you don't allow yourself or your children to be vaccinated.

To me, and most medical professionals, Anti-vaccine means you default to declining a vaccine, which you seem to do, despite no evidence of harm from the vaccine, and good evidence for safety.
