I need some assistance. I have a friend who is stuck in religion and having her first child in June. She's not stupid and I very much care for her, so please keep that in mind when responding. She's being inundated and pressured by antivax, religious zealots. Happily, I have earned her trust and she's asking me for advice.
I need scientific but easily understood (for her idiot husband) articles on why we vaccinate infants and also articles that expound upon the benefits and safety of such vaccines.
Thank you!

The Centers for Disease Control has excellent information on vaccinations:

How about she sit her husband down quietly, and in a calm and tranquil voice, with sweetest of smile say this.
"Our child will be vaccinated against all preventable and possible fatal or crippling diseases, if you try and stop this from happening, I strongly suggest you never sleep again without a locked door between you and I, Because if you do make that mistake I will cut off your junk with a pair of tree pruning shears.
I are getting what I am saying sweetheart?"
I think he might leave skid marks on his way to the clinic.

@Donotbelieve does she trust her pediatrician?
@Donotbelieve how about. ..sooo not trust in science at all?..damn..show her photos of kids with measles, mumps and polio..search for recordings or vids of kids with whooping cough..
@Donotbelieve Yes, Yes! That and stats on how many people used to die or be scarred for life every year from these preventable deseases. Articles and stuff have little affect, as usually they are taught that everybody but the church is lying to them. Especially about all things science. Well at least thats what i was taught and what facts i have found that kind of work.
This is a simple pamphlet that is for the layman. Thought this might be a good place to start. If you want something more technical with facts/stats that’s easy as well.
