Could someone kindly explain to me why the debate is still on-going between pro- and anti-vaccine? I must be missing some key point, but to me it seems that if the vaccines work, the pro-vaccine side should not care if other people are not vaccinated, and vice versa, if the vaccines are dangerous and deadly, why the anti-vaccine people care, since they are safe. I don't get it.
