For all the vaccination "skeptics" (morons)

**tommo** · 05-26-2011 05:31 AM

If you’re skeptical about the correlation between vaccination and the spread of disease, or about the danger the deliberately unvaccinated pose to infants, you should check out the CDC’s figures. They’re pretty stunning.

Also check out the first comment
Check out this this graph of whooping cough rates around San Francisco counties. Marin (the richest county in California), has the highest personal belief vaccine exemption rate. They also have whooping cough rates not seen in over 50 years.

Funny, coz I just heard someone mention having whooping cough in a thread on these forums yesterday I think.
Have fun killing babies.

Hurr durr, vaccines that have proven effective for generations still work. Imagine that...

I'd've thought they'd've given up the ghost after the bird flu jabs failed to (kill/mentally debilitate) (huge social group X/everybody) and nobody ended up in (death camps/slavery) to the glee of the (NWO/facists/socialists).

Actually I'm not being very honest, I didn't think for a moment they'd do that.

There appear to be very little limits on human stupidity, alas.

I haven't been sick in years.
I have had a flu shot in years, either.

**tommo** · 05-27-2011 04:53 AM

You're a moron....

**greenhavoc** · 05-27-2011 04:58 AM

I'm a moron because I haven't been sick in a long time, or because I haven't had to have a flu shot in a long time?

The flu shot actually sort of is bullshit. It doesn't do any harm to get one, but it isn't the most beneficial thing in the world for a person with a healthy, strong immune system.

I know, I agree. He's a moron because:

And this topic is about MMR vaccines, not the flu or flu vaccines.

Maybe moron is a little harsh, but his post made no sense and isn't related to the thread.

I think the suspicion of vaccines arose when a few people have had adverse reactions to them which is inevitable with any medicine. Take antibiotics for instance, they save millions of lives each year and yet there is a small minority of people who have adverse reactions to them but this does not mean antibiotics are "poison" or whatever anti-vaccine fanatics believe. I dont personally get vaccines every year (not because I believe in the NWO) because I am young, have a good diet, and exercise regularly, I get sick once a year(not including headaches) so I don't find it necessary. Im the kind of person whose whole family gets sick with the flu but I dont, its always been that way.

**ninja9578** · 05-27-2011 05:13 PM

No, the suspicion arose because of a study by a doctor correlation vaccines with autism. Of course in less than a month it was shown that he fabricated results, but the damage was done. But still, only the stupidest of the stupid believe vaccines cause more harm than good.

**ludr** · 05-28-2011 01:05 AM

Vaccines FTW!

Stop The Baloney About Vaccines Being Poison. Remember how we eradicated smallpox?

**Descensus** · 05-28-2011 01:15 AM

I always thought the skepticism came from dick-over-brain thought processes after people saw Jenny McCarthy rambling about vaccination-induced autism.

**duke396** · 05-29-2011 10:09 AM

I don't think vaccines are poison, I just don't think they're necessary for everyone. I haven't had a flu vaccine in probably 10 years, and I haven't had the flu in... Hmm, about 10 years. *shrug* I get sick once or twice a year (not counting the common cold) and 99% of the time its a sinus infection due to allergies.

As for Bird and Swine flu, I didn't really buy into that. Yes, people died from it, but I didn't personally see a greater chance of death than with any other type of flu. And Swine flu isn't a new thing, I believe there was a vaccine for it in the 70s.

Now, I have a friend who swore up and down to me that the Bird/Swine flu vaccines contained antifreeze/mercury/a tracking device/whatever undesirable thing and that the vaccine was tested on 300 people in a third world country and 299 (or some unreasonable number) of them died after receiving it.. I think that's a bunch of horseshit and fearmongering, but I also think the whole idea of there being a pandemic because of those "new" types of flu that have been around for 40 years was also paranoid fearmongering. Also note that I could only find I think one reference to the testing she referred to, and it actually stated that of the 300 people about 21 of them died, and that some died of old age or a completely different disease, etc.

Edit:

And this topic is about MMR vaccines, not the flu or flu vaccines.

I must be a moron too, maybe you shouldn't have just said "vaccines" in the subject line. Do you even know what MMR means? You mentioned whooping cough (pertussis), which is not included in an MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine so I'm not sure if I have to start tossing insults myself to make my point... I actually haven't heard of people being skeptical (recently) about MMR vaccines and I know a few conspiracy nuts. Maybe I tuned that one out.

**DangerousDashie** · 05-29-2011 10:47 AM

The trick is to get everyone else to get the vaccination and then you won't need it.

that's sarcasm, right?

Actually, no. That is a completely viable way of staying reasonably safe. Because if everyone else is vaccinated, the disease won't spread through the population, so your chances of catching it will be slim.

I don't like to define it. it is what it is.

sure. but is that reasonable? is that even a little bit reliable or safe?

now that's just being cryptic.

Is it reasonable? Well, it makes sense. It's based on reason, so yes. But it is only reliable if a big enough portion of "everyone else" does get the vaccination. You can't really count on that.

edit: That is, you can't count on that with you kids. I went that route with the swine flu, though

at that point your logic just goes out the window. what use are words if you're not going to say anything with them.

What so you want me to have the entire OP in the thread title?
That would kind of defeat the purpose of the OP itself wouldn't it?

If people can't read a post and just go off what the title says, they are
a moron.

I "mentioned" whooping cough because I was referencing the first comment in the link I posted. Jeez. I wonder how some people get by in life without being able to understand such a simple train of thought.

**AURON** · 05-29-2011 05:39 PM

vaccines and antibiotics are like apples and oranges. There was a time when everyone got antibiotics no matter what kind of infection they had....which is totally wrong, because you cant fight viruses with them. But the only thing I can really think of about vaccines are those cases where people are given too many different ones at a time. As a child...they can end up with some serious health issues if they get too much of a cocktail of them. As for the flu shot...it's really a gimmic...they're just using stuff based on last years flu in hopes that it will prevent next years flu.

Bottom line....some vaccines are amazing....HEP B....measles mumps rubella....all that jazz. But some are crap....like the flu vaccine...which is just some retroactive patch. Oh....and small pox...I remember I was given that vaccine in the military only to find out it does nothing for the lab created "white powder" version.
