Population control?

Explain this to me: hundreds of millions of people died of smallpox during the 1900s. Since the completion of the worldwide vaccination program against smallpox, no one has died of smallpox. What happened??

And I actually think that in a way you are right. All that are ignorant and doesn’t check facts and belives the kind of people that write articles are being killed of by the diseases the rest of us that get the heard protection will not get.

The problem is that you anti vax people will also kill children and smart but ill people that can’t vaccinate. But that is just some we other smart people that actually cares about our family, friends and fellow humans.

So please don’t vaccinate, as then the intelligence level of humanity will be higher again.

To all other, please look up how the diseases that we vaccinate against looks when it strikes and read up on how vaccination saves your and your neighbours childre.
And that anti vax actually kills, as some diseases are comming back because of these anti vaccination propaganda..

Your understanding of science, statistics, and history is nonexistent, or perhaps you are simply a troll.

First of all, your body does not develop “immunity” to antibiotics. What I think you are trying to say is that bacteria populations have evolved resistance to many antibiotics. This is indeed a very real problem and you’re right in that antibiotics should be used judiciously, but not because your body develops “immunity” to them. You should read about the science of bacterial resistance to antibiotics.

Secondly, you clearly do not appreciate the concept of herd immunity. This is an important point. Once a certain percentage of the population is immunized against a pathogen, it becomes very difficult for the pathogen to appreciably penetrate the population and cause outbreaks. This is why even though your kids are not vaccinated, they have a very low chance of being infected against most of the pathogens we vaccinate against – because many more responsible parents have vaccinated their children. However, because there is a certain proportion of people who think like you, every once in a while there is a mini outbreak of one of these diseases (again, read about the outbreak of measles in the vicinity of the Super Bowl). Because we now have generations of people who have lived without horribly disabling infectious diseases like polio, people like you cannot appreciate what would happen to people before vaccination programs were initiated.

Thirdly, we do not vaccinate against diseases that have been stamped out (which is suggested from your “1920 disease” comment). The only disease that has been eradicated is smallpox (how was this done, do you ask? By a worldwide vaccination program), and no one is given this vaccine anymore. I think the “1920 disease” you might be referring to is polio, which is not eradicated, and is still endemic in some parts of the world. When it is eradicated, we will no longer give the vaccine, but it will be no thanks to people like you.

Your sister in law is doing tremendous harm to her patients, and I shudder to think there are other so-called physicians dolling out the same nonsense.

I know that an internet post is not going to change your mind, but I would highly suggest you educate yourself with an actual understanding of the biology behind the claims you are making.

my sister in law is a pediatrican, she tells parents all the side affects first and the chances of getting those. then she will refer the parents to another doctor if they want these “shots”, and keeps a fat stack of vaccine refusal papers ready. by law she cant deny ignorant parents
the vaccines they want, but she does not believe this
part of her job so she refuses to administer these shots and
dosent prescibe antibiotics and tells parents to instead try 1st to cure with home remedies
to reduce the amount of antibiotics introduced into the body because
nowadays people are becoming more immune to them.
only use them when all natural and home cures fail and when absolutly important
people get a soar throat and run for anitbiotics, them when they have a serious
problem like kidney infections the antibiotic isnt as strong
because the body develops an immunity to it.

PROTECT OUR KIDS!!!

No. This is why there are large, rigorous, tightly-controlled studies to determine causation. And time after time, no link has been found between autism and vaccinations. There may be environmental factors contributing to increasing numbers of children who develop autism, but vaccines are not.

For people whose children are autistic, it is understandable that they want a reason for why it happened. It is a normal impulse to want to blame something. But just because kids are diagnosed with autism after they have received vaccinations does not prove that the vaccines contributed to their autistic state, and indeed many studies have shown that this is not the case.

We take vaccines for granted; we live in an era where polio, measles, mumps, etc are not prevalent(at least in the US) because of the incredibly efficacious results of vaccination programs. Recent outbreaks of some of these viruses among people who were not vaccinated (google the mini-outbreak of measles that occurred in the vicinity of the Super Bowl) demonstrate the importance of the continuance of vaccination programs, no matter how extensive our herd immunity is.

Did you not read in the paper that there was one case of polio in the whole of Africa because of vaccinations. ONE CASE! That is extremely minimal.

Of course there are risks, there are risks in everything you do; even taking a panadol for a headache. But you calculate the risks against the benefits. Sure, I have a 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000001% chance of being allergic to panadol, but i have a killer back ache that is stopping me from exercising and keeping fit. I’d take the damn panadol.

Vaccinations are not all bad. I bet some of you are smokers. Ever stopped to wonder what goes into those smokes?

You can call me crazy or stupid etc..but I really don’t care. I’m not putting anything that contains Mercury into my body. I’m watching my carcinogens and poisons, thank you. My boyfriend on the other hand has been vaccinated to hell and back, has always kept really clean, has been on a bazillion anti-biotics (for ever little thing) and when he gets a cold it’s like the world is ending. I get sick once a year, with the flu and then it’s gone. His mother is a nurse…a very militant nurse who thinks that the answer to all life’s ails is a pill and has made her son quite sick in the process.

I’ll keep doing things naturally and healthily. It’s worked thus far and will keep working for me and my boyfriend and our future children.

Then you have societies, like the Amish, who have never vaccinated and do not have autism in their society. Is this a myth, is it proven. I wish a large university would study such societies and give us an outcome of their findings on this. There are other societies that also do not vaccinate due to religious beliefs that have children that go to school with our children. Do there children get immunizations on the sly (I ask because the one I knew of growing up in my area sometimes took their children to DR. on the sly), are they more susceptible to diseases if they travel into third world countries where the diseases still are prevalent (is it because they live in a country where the viruses has been wiped out or near to it?). So many questions. Is there anyone who hasn’t vaccinated and has a child with autism.

My point being that we could say yes and no all day. Yes, the additives in the shot are not something I would want in my body. Is there another way to make the additives be more suitable to put into our bodies? All of the questions I have can’t be answered without research and lots of years of it and openness by all to hear what is said and then ask more questions. Not name calling and telling each other we are stupid. I truly am confused by both sides and agree with both arguments so how do you help those of us who don’t have an a definitive answer and need proof either way. When my kids come to me yelling they are stupid and she said and he said I quit listening to all of them and send them to their rooms.

I say either find a way to prove your point or go to your rooms….
