That was just one of many articles you could find if you cared to educate yourself about health and the problems of traditional medicine. I
And it's utter nonsense.

Vaccination is one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs of human existence. Billions of lives have been saved because of it.

There is a new "movement" of wacko conspiracy theorists who are against it - the reason is because they get a headache or a hangnail from a vaccine and think it's a terrible thing, mostly because vaccines have worked too well - these people have never seen someone with mumps, or polio, or rabies, and so can't comprehend that the disease is far, far worse than the treatment.

Do you realize that over 6,000 kids are hospitalized and/or die every year due to adverse reactions from vaccinations?

In fairness, millions of kids are vaccinated, so the chances of your kids being among those 6,000 is astronomical. However, that is more kids than are killed with guns or car accidents.
I didn't see any proof of this in your link. 6,000 hospitalizations and deaths from vaccines?
