Ah, yes, the old "government knows better than you do what's best for you" argument!

Going by the above--the fact that Lumara doesn't like vaccines because she thinks they suppress her immune system-, my argument is self-proven because said believe is unsubstantiated and downright FALSE. IT IS A MYTH! Believing in myths indicates you don't actually know what you're talking about, thus any decision you make based on that myth is unfounded.

Lumara provided what can be considered anecdotal evidence; if you disagree with her sources then feel free to directly prove the sources wrong.

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.
"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.
"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."
The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.
"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
