and others refuse to take them as a political statement, which is a selfish thing to do. Vaccines are like masks, they are effective when everyone uses them.
Think about it, if vaccines work so well, then vaccinated people have nothing to fear from the unvaccinated population. Several years ago, there was a measles outbreak in the western U.S. They found that most of the kids who got the measles in that outbreak had been vaccinated for measles. I searched the Internet for a report of this outbreak, but I can't find one. It seems to have been scrubbed from the Internet. Hmmm, I wonder why.
In the early 2000s, I happened to tune into C-SPAN when a doctor (addressing a groups of doctors at a conference) was bemoaning the fact that they didn't know what combining so many different vaccines in the vaccine cocktails would do to young children. They just didn't have a clue, but doctors expect parents to have their newborn babies injected with them.
There are some good doctors out there, but we should not put our trust in them. So much of what is called "medical science" really is based on what SEEMS logical. To give an example, when my oldest daughter was born, the nurses at the hospital told me to lay her down on her stomach to avoid crib death. They said it with such conviction, so I did what they told me to do.... Several years later, when my second child was born, the nurses told me with such conviction to put her down on her back. It seems that RESEARCH showed that more crib deaths occur when a baby is sleeping on his/her stomach. So....the first advice was based on faulty human logic. The second had its basis in science. The problem is the medical community is very slow to correct bad information (if they ever do), so in the meantime many people can be hurt.
My oldest daughter (who could have died from crib death because I followed the medical advice given to me, lol) had very adverse reactions to the DPT vaccine with over a 104 degree fever. Every time she was given that vaccine, she had this reaction. They have since come out with the DTaP, which is more easily tolerated, but how many babies were harmed by the DTP vaccine???
There is so much propaganda from the medical community and MSM about vaccines and about those "horrible anti-vaxxers" that it's difficult to get accurate info. But there have been many serious complications, and even deaths, reported from vaccines. I believe that much of this info is being covered up. Parents need accurate info so that they can weight the pros and cons and decide what's best for their children and for themselves. The government should NOT take that choice away! Yeah, I'm 100% pro-choice
when it comes to vaccines.
