Consider the following argument:
Parents should vaccinate their children, as not vaccinating a child puts both that child and other children at risk. Some people oppose
vaccination because they fear the possibility that vaccines will harm children. True, vaccinating a child has a very slight chance of
harming that one child. However, this risk should be disregarded, as there is a much greater possibility of harm to both the single child
and other people's children if that child is not vaccinated
What does this argument conclude?
a. Parents should vaccinate their children
b. Parents have a responsibility not to put their children or the children of others at risk
c. There is a much greater possibility of harm to both the single child and other people's children if that child is not vaccinated
d. Vaccines have a very slight chance of harming children
