5 Reasons To NOT Vaccinate Your Kids

2,045 Comments

1. And what about Polio? Rubella? Diphtheria? Tetanus? Varicella? Pertussis? Mumps? Influenza? They are still around and can kill before you know what it is infecting a child. I am a polio survivor from 1953 (before the Salk vaccine). It was one of the worse years. 17 kids in my hometown that year died from it and many more were disabled. I now suffer from PPS (Post Polio Syndrome) and live in pain ever day. Although there has not been any documented cases for years in the US, in 2015 there were three cases identified in children that arrived from the Mideast where it is still prevalent.

2. Here’s my two cents:
   Do you really think that the human species can only survive by injecting vaccines into our bodies?
   Whether you believe in God or evolution, isn’t it impractical to think that our survival is based on this practice?
   Maybe we as species are meant to have epidemics that wipe out people so that our species can get stronger.

   1. I say stop all medical research and let people die as they may. Too many of ’em anyway.

      1. Yes, there are too many people. Famine, wars, and water shortages are due to overpopulation.

   2. What do you mean, “Believe in Evolution”?

      God is something you have to believe in. Evolution and medication are the real world,

      Only 500 years ago, life expectancy was 40 years and children dying before the age of 10 was common. What happen? Science….

      Maybe we dont need every vaccination, but most dont just make you live as a child, but protect you as an adult as well. There are viruses we can handle as kids, but would be serious if you got them as an adult.

      Just in case,
      Vaccinations isn’t antibodies. Its a small weak version of the dangerous strain, which your body builds resistance to, and makes you immune.

      You don’t need to believe in anything said here. Look at facts among child mortality in parts of the world where all gets vaccination, and compare it with parts that don’t provide it.

      1. In 1880 (137 years ago), the life expectancy in the USA was 39.4 years. You don’t have to go back 500 years for it to be that low.

   3. “Whether you believe in God or evolution, isn’t it impractical to think that our survival is based on this practice?”

      As has been stated before, evolution isn’t a thing you believe in, any more than one believes in rain, gravity, arithmetic, or birds.

      But to your point: there’s nothing inherently impractical about the notion of eradicating, or at least curbing the spread of, deadly diseases. In fact, the argument could be made that vaccination is, itself, an evolutionary advantage: not only is it a result of the biggest adaptability traits of our species (sentience and toolmaking), but it serves to keep our species going.

      Did you mean something else?

3. Ill make it simple… The author of this article is a MORON who obviously hasn’t had a child that has been harmed by a vaccine.. The author most likely hasn’t read WARNING LABELS on the vaccines and probably isn’t aware of the VACCINE INJURY FUND set up by the U.S. Government

   1. Please stay away from infants if you have not vaxed your child. Please. Also educate yourself on the horrors of bacterial meningitis and polio for a wake up call.

   2. Also, please stay away from hospitals because people there have weakened immune systems and you could kill them. I hope that makes you feel awesome

4. pedovial (ped-ō-vile) noun (pedo–child, vials–poisoners)

   1. Deviant, vaccine-agressive pediatricians who won’t allow vaccine choice.
   2. Deviant, vaccine-agressive pediatricians who throw vaccine-aware parents out of his or her practice for monetary gain—especially to meet vaccine sales quotas.
   3. Corrupt politician who blindly votes for mandatory vaccination legislation while taking payoffs from vaccine industry lobbyists.
   4. Dr. Mengele wanna-be’s who don’t give one sh*t about your children. Examples: Pan, Offit, Hotez, Gates, Reiss, etc.

   1. “Vaccine-aware parents…”

      The fact that the parent is refusing vaccines is proof that the parent isn’t “vaccine-aware”. So nice try, buddy.

   2. Your defense is entirely based on profit as a reason for Vaccinations, as if you believe other countries don’t exist where Vaccinations are not part of some National Health Service.

      Try looking outside of America and seeing whether other countries are pushing Vaccinations as hard before you fall victim to the idiocy contained within your beliefs. If countries where the Doctor doesn’t profit from giving more Vaccines are doing the same thing, how can you believe it’s a financial thing? Stupidity would be the only way.

      If you cared about your children AT ALL you’d look at how other countries handle Vaccinations before spouting the same nonsense all paranoid anti-government Americans do that is hilariously portrayed on TV.

5. I was irreparably harmed by a vaccine I received while in the Marine Corps! I now have 2-3 severe Migraines a week, I also have Cerebral Atrophy, my wife and I have done thousands of hours of research from all kinds of sources most of which was from the CDC’s own website not to mention having read the Manufacturer’s own Vaccine Inserts.. Of our 6 kids 2 (our first 2) had some vaccinations done our oldest son now 19 got his until he was 2 and our second born was given his first set of vaccines, both of them had asthma until we detoxed them and the asthma went away as for our other 4 kids none of them have ever been touched by a needle containing a vaccine and they have never been sick except for the very rare cold. All of their cousins and friends who have been vaccinated are always sick I can honestly count on 1 hand how many times all 6 of my kids combined have missed a day of school due to an illness.. Also as Pro-Life Christians we will not vaccinate our kids because then we would be violating our Christian Beliefs because the majority of vaccines are cultured on Human Diploid cells which are Human Fetal Kidney and Lung cells…. Then all of the Neurotoxins and other dangerous chemicals and animals cells… So no thank you we will not vaccinate our kids let alone ourselves..

   1. Please stop spreading misinformation about vaccines, your post is so full of lies I don’t even know where to begin. Typical fundamentalist Christian, I bet you also believe the earth is only six-thousand years old and that it’s flat.

   2. Its people like you who cause other babies, children and even adults to get sick or die

6. Re: #3, animal products are used in the lab, so it’s actually a fair comparison. Products from cow’s blood are used to keep mammalian cells alive in culture.

   If you’d rather your kids get potentially fatal diseases than use even a small amount of animal products at all for the sake of medicine, well, I question our judgement but at least there’s a line of reasoning that isn’t based on false premises.

7. Eight reasons to vaccinate your child

   1 – Your child is deficient in mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, viruses, foreign DNA or other ingredients proven to cause neurological damage.

   2 – Your child has an excess of healthy, functioning brain cells.

   3 – You need cash. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation program has paid out $4.8 billion dollars to parents of children injured or killed by vaccines.

   4 – You and your spouse are feeling alienated and you need a crisis to bring you together.

   5 – You believe that pharmaceutical conglomerates which earn billions from vaccines are more credible than consumer groups.

   6 – You think thousands of parents who report that their children became autistic two hours to two weeks after vaccination are lying.

   7 – You don’t see a problem in logic when the government tells you that vaccines work, but that vaccinated children can catch diseases from unvaccinated children.

   8 – You think the government should dictate which healing methods you and your children are allowed to use.

   1. Alan V. Schmukler, you are an idiot.

      1. Alan you are wise! Thank you.

   2. #9, Human DNA from Aborted Fetus Kidney and Lung Cells also known as Human Diploid Cells.. Are in the Vaccines because that is what a vast majority of the vaccines is cultured on.. So you are injecting Recombinant DNA into your babies Body..Bypassing the bodies natural defences thus altering your babies own DNA structuring

      1. How is the DNA recombinant? And if it was that easy to alter DNA, just by putting DNA near a cell, a whole lot of lab work would be a whole lot easier.

   3. #6: Vaccines DON’T cause Autism

   4. Hahahahahahahahhahahahaha. That’s all I can do at the stupidity that comes from the vial you spew. Laugh. Goodness gracious. Please…PLEASE. Don’t ever procreate. The world doesn’t need more people like you. Your ignorance is perplexing and your hubris seems to spew out of every orifice, thinking you know more than the hundreds of scientists and thousands of studies that prove almost all of your comments incorrect.

   5. For 1., if you are worried about formaldehyde then you best move out of your house. It is the number one most common air pollutant in housing. If you are worried about mercury (which isn’t used in vaccines anymore) then you really ought to be against coal fired power stations as they release 65% of all airborne mercury in the USA, avoid eating seafood and stop using ammunition as they commonly use mercury fulminate as the primer.
      2. Got any proof of this?
      3. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has not paid out 4.8B, it has paid out around 1.75B over 2100 court victories. Winning a claim with the fund is not actually that hard if you don’t mind some white lies (you don’t need to prove that vaccines caused the problem, you just have to show that it is possible and that there is no obvious other cause of the issue). Given the millions of vaccines given out since the program was instated in 1988, that would leave a injury rate of less then 0.001% of all vaccinations.
      4. Everyone that I know has their kids vaccinated, the worst side effect seen so far is a slight fever that went away after a day or two. No crisis’s… 🙁
      5. If “Big Pharma” was as evil as some people think then they would love to have vaccines eliminated. Do you know how much money they could make from just a single measles outbreak?
      6. How many parents have claimed this after the false study done by the English doctor compared to before? How many of these parents realise that the study claimed a link between the MMR vaccine and autism, not vaccines in general. The doctor behind the study had stock interests in a company that made vaccines to replace the MMR vaccine, no conflict of interest there. Japan uses a separate vaccine rather then the MMR vaccine, they have shown no change in rates of Autism.
      7. Vaccines are not perfect (nothing is) and viruses do mutate. The more infected hosts there are, the more chance there is for the virus to mutate into a form that can bypass the vaccination protection. Not to mention that some children are too young to be vaccinated, some are immuno-compromised and others have not had their full course of vaccines to attain full protection.
      8. Vaccines are most effective when everyone is vaccinated. Would you prefer a relatively harmless vaccination program or would you prefer to have the occasional quarantine enforced by patrolling military in hazmat suits?

      1. I heart Andrew

   6. You put the name Samantha to shame

8. This article and some of the following comments just prove how completely uneducated the pro-vaccine side is. Keep spewing out the lines they give you. Maybe you could use your brain and read a medical journal, the CDC’S own website, or a vaccine manufacturer’s insert that comes with the vaccine. Oh wait, that’s right, you are an idiot sheep. I for one am not and will no longer damage more of my children because my first one was the unfortunate guinea pig.

   1. So big pharma is reliable when they’re printing vaccine inserts?

      1. Andrea, the Vaccine Inserts list Autism as a Side Effect of the MMR as well as other Vaccines.. But yet our Government claims that it doesn’t..

      2. The insert list side effects that have been observed in all studies of the drug, whether or not it is scientifically established that the side effect is correlated to the drug. Almost all of the side effects are coincidental observations and certainly don’t prove causation.

   2. You sound like the sheep to me. Believing whatever lies you happened to see on a meme one day when thousands upon thousands of scientific studies prove vaccines to be safe and effective. I cannot help but laugh at the anti-vaxxers…it perplexes me how some people can be so off-base and out of touch with reality. I would never hope for something like a sickness to happen to anyone, even those who don’t vaccinate (for whatever reason their small minds seem to make up at the time), but I pray you don’t ever realize that you and your family are the reason for making others sick. Because that’s what you’re doing by not getting vaccines…making others sick. But hey…as long as you live an extra year and feel better about your all-encompassing knowledge surpassing the hundreds of scientists that have studied much, much more than you. That’s what really matters, right?

   3. Are you sure you have read a medical journal? Or for that matter are you a fucking doctor? The sad thing is, is that your kids have a higher chance to infect another child that isn’t old enough to get vaccines, or develop a new strain of the virus and spread it to the rest of the children that are vaccinated. Get your head out of your ass and stop being a google doctor. People like you cause the end of herd immunity.

9. I don’t use products that the manufacturer has no liability for. Even if the salespeople are persuasive and even if most other people are doing it. Science is an ideal not a religion.

10. “It makes me furious and makes the blood in my veins boil with hatred toward you for putting your children in such a vulnerable and dangerous position.” And guess what? Educated parents are going to keep on NOT vaccinating for scientifically based reasons. So boil away, my friend. Because you do not own us or our children.

    1. please do enlighten us with your “scientifically based reasons” oh wise one

    2. Just keep your diseased children away from mine. Thank you.

11. The person who wrote this article is a professional troll! Astounded by lack of knowledge and degrading of others.

12. Oh, I’m sorry you are so misinformed. I don’t vaccinate because my oldest was left with a life changing vaccine injury. Ever research vaccine injury? I’m guessing not, because there’s no way you would have typed up this pile of garbage if you knew what vaccines were really capable of.

    1. *cough* bull crap *cough*

    2. What was the injury?

13. This is one the most ignorant vaccination posts I’ve ever had the displeasure to read. If the author had attempted to actually back up her ‘facts’ she might have found that she is wrong on just about every single point she states as fact. Really a disgusting egocentric exercise, full of false information. Shame on you! History is going to make a real fool of people who write posts like this

    1. No, history is currently making fools of anti-vaxxers causing preventable measles outbreaks in first world countries and putting susceptible individuals at fatal risk.

    2. Its also not meant to have scientific facts. This is a woman who posted her opinion to the world and, low and behold, she got ignorant fucks like you to come out and say something because it offends you. Well guess fucking what. It offends the fuck out of me that you are probably a parent that didn’t vaccinate your kid and have the audacity to say anything about “false information”

14. You won’t get anywhere with anyone with this post. It’s degrading and condescending. Only way to persuade people to change their mind is to educate them. When people trust you and see that you have their best interest, they will listen and take note of what you are saying. Making people feel like bad parents in any way will shut them down to anything else you say. So your post will fall on deaf ears because you have made moms and dads feel bad about the one thing they care most about.

    1. Unfortunately, education often doesn’t work either. The best way is to catch people with evidence before their mind is made up.

15. Mmmmm when a mommy knows whats best anyways,
    why writing this article ?

    1. It is called sarcasm!

16. I consider refusal to vaccinate a child, child abuse. If you refuse to vaccinate your child that’s on you, but no child should be allowed to be enrolled in school, daycare, nursery etc without proof of vaccination.

    1. Well, you have every right to your “opinion” but the facts are, that millions of children have been killed or damaged by vaccinations and even the government admits they are “unavoidably unsafe”, so as parents we should have the personal choice whether to to take that risk with our children. I’ll risk a benign childhood disease which confers lifetime immunity over the risk of aluminum or mercury poisoning resulting in brain damagefor my children, thank you very much.

       1. Millions?…i would to see some proof of that claim…and from a legitimate source…

       2. Millions… that would be a mortality rate of 1/1,000. It’s not vaccines that kill that many, it’s childhood diseases in the absence of vaccination. Easily mixed up.

       3. “millions of children have been killed or damaged by vaccinations”

          The childhood mortality rate in the USA is 7 per 1000 live births. If vaccinations were so dangerous then why is the mortality rate of children so low (despite the best efforts of the anti-vaxxers the coverage rate for children is still 90%+ for most vaccinations)? The childhood mortality rate in 1960 was 30 per 1000 live births. If vaccines were as dangerous as anti-vaxxers make them out to be then the rate should be increasing rather decreasing (especially considering that there are a lot more vaccines given these days).

       4. So, in the past 10 years there have only been (roughly) 16,947 cases including death related to vaccinating your child. Even if you went back to the 1950’s you still wouldn’t be able to reach the millions. Unless you were talking about times before vaccines. How about we stop using google to tell you how to take care of your kids and use this amazing thing called a brain

    2. well said Dave, a voice of reason amongst the self-centred, facebook informed “parents”

17. If you choose to vaccinate your child then you should not be worried about those who choose to vaccinate their children!
    Remember, your child was vaccinated.
    I hope they live through it with reactions or permanent injuries.
    I could post lists and websites with vaccine cover-ups!
    It’s about the pharmaceutical companies making the almighty dollar at the expense of our children!

    1. …and for those who cannot get vaccinated because they are too young or immune suppressed? they NEED you to be responsible to help keep their own kids safe.

    2. You mean the debunked research from the guy who was paid to manufacture it, or the movie he wrote, directed, and produced to justify his lying ass. Face it you have no significant credible proof. Btw even natural essential oils can cause negative reactions when taken at inappropriate doses, but I’m sure you don’t care about that because it doesn’t prove your point. Children who have weakened immune systems can’t… oops there I go using information that you undoubtedly don’t care about because again it doesn’t prove your point. I’m sure your completely unbiased and in-depth (intense sarcasm) study of vaccines as yielded you with sufficient evidence to prove your half-baked theory.

       1. Sounds like I’ve done More research than you have ever done. What’s the mans name? Did you see the movie and it’s content? I assume not. Show me ONE safety study done of the entire overblown vax schedule. Just the one will do. You can’t. Doesn’t exist.

    3. You hope children get injured? That’s a horrible thing to think.

       Not everyone gains immunity from every vaccine. But have you ever noticed how everyone used to get measles, and now hardly anyone gets measles? As long as most people are vaccinated, the disease can’t spread. But if you introduce the live disease into a community, the ones who didn’t gain immunity will contract the disease.

18. if you morons really think pharmaceutical companies can isolate one virus and protect the human population, keep vaccinating your children. look up SV40 in polio virus vaccines. it never seems to amaze me the stupidity. mds make tons of money on vaccines. keep getting your shots!

    1. I did look it up. It was only in vaccines between 1955-1961. So yes keep vaccinating!

       1. Not enough for you? Ok, then, now go look up XMRV retrovirus, immortal cell line, cell strains, animal, insect and aborted fetal tissue in vaccines, egg and peanut cultures for vaccines, (causing egg and peanut allergy), chronic fatigue, Gullian Barre syndrome, mercury and aluminum and the blood brain barrier… I can go on and on…

19. What is most baffling to me about the non-vaccers comments, is how many that say “well if you are vaccinating your child, shouldn’t it be protected from any disease my child can get?” How can you guys not understand that it is not only about the children that has already gotten vaccines? They don’t get all vaccines at once, there has been cases with infants that hasnt gotten all vaccines yet who contracted diseases from other children from waiting rooms in hospitals because their parents decided not to vaccinate their children. It’s so damn irresponsible. You guys cant even imagine that your descisions doesn’t only affect your own children, but others newborns too.

    And seriously. Why do you guys think that we don’t have so many incidents with these diseases anymore? Because most children get their vaccines. But if all you hippie moms and dads are gonna keep procreating and sharing your views, they damn well will come back. And then what? “oops, sorry, I guess we were wrong?” So tired of this shit.

    I can handle parents beind scared as fuck of giving children sugar, even though I dont get it. I can handle them even being scared of fruit sugar, even though I find it silly as hell. Heck, i can even handle people scared of citrusacid, I can handle vegetarians and vegans, even though I dont think children should be without meat and milk products.
    But this shit only affect your own children.

    When you stop vaccinating, when you have the possibility to vaccinate your child, then you freaking are a child abuser. You abuse your own child and others, because you rather listen to cosnpiracy theories than listen to doctors that only wants the best for your child.

    But hey. Next time you get a serious injury, or are in labour, or heck even get cancer. Just fix it at home k? Because doctors dont know shit anyway.

20. I have a public health background and am 100% supportive of immunizations to reduce morbidity and mortality not to mention eradicate diseases. The benefits are indisputable.

    I do suspect, as others do, that many infants and children are developing signs of autism due to less well recognized genetic variances or at least not well recognized by the general medical community as of yet. It is possible that the effects of these genetic variances become more observable around the same age as children are undergoing vaccinations. Cause and effect could be misconstrued. Or perhaps vaccination could be the “final straw” for pushing symptoms into the easily observed autism spectrum disorder in susceptible children. There is a good probability that these children would show symptoms even without vaccination.

    The variances I want to point out are largely due to nutrient intake…not enough, too much, and very important…not the right form of the necessary nutrients for that individual’s “body chemistry.”

    Some people, including infants and children are genetically more susceptible to difficulties metabolizing certain nutrients (natural and manufactured) and clearing heavy metals from the body. Do some research on the MTHFR Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP). Variances in SNPs such as in MTHFR C677T and MTHFR A1298C, for example, can make it difficult to process natural forms of folate (vitamin B-9). For some, the manufactured version of folate, folic acid (different than foliNIc acid) are not only not usable but can block receptors from using natural forms of folate (like folinic acid). While the body can be flooded with folic acid and folinic acid they are genetically unable to utilize it properly.

    Some people with the above genetic variances will notice symptoms when they accidentally ingest folic acid. Beware when you do your research that “folic acid” name is often incorrectly used as if it a naturally occurring vitamin but it is not. Folate is a broad term to include all types of folates. Folinic acid is a natural occuring form of B-9. Folic acid is a chemically synthesized form of folate used because it is considerably cheaper than folinic acid.

    Folate = all types of folates (forms of B-9)

    Folinic acid – naturally occuring folate in food

    Folic acid=chemically produced variant of folate

    Our food supply is now heavily fortified with folic acid, especially since 1998. Read the reasoning excerpted from the FDA website:

    “Requiring folic acid in standardized enriched grain products is an example of a nutrient addition for a public health purpose. In September 1992, the United States Public Health Service (PHS) recommended that all women who are capable to become pregnant consume 400 micrograms of folic acid daily to reduce their risk of having a newborn affected by neural tube defects. Since 1998, in keeping with the recommendations of PHS, FDA has required that folic acid be added to standardized enriched grain products (21 CFR Parts 136, 137 and 139). The rationale for fortifying standardized enriched cereal grain products as a vehicle of fortification was that most women consume these products. Thus, fortification of these products would lead to increased folic acid intake of most women without requiring a change in their dietary patterns.”

    reference: http://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceRegulation/GuidanceDocumentsRegulatoryInformation/ucm470756.htm

    In addition to the FDA’s requirement of fortification of standardized enriched grain products, many manufacturers have added folic acid and other nutrients so they can market their products as “fortified”. The result of these things means that it is nearly impossible to avoid folic acid unless you eat only whole foods that you cook at home because folic acid is found in bread/rolls/buns, products made with flour, cereal, snacks, breakfast bars, rice, some beverages…and many packaged/prepared foods. Folic acid is also found in baby formula, children’s vitamins and in most commonly available multivitamins for any age group. Some individuals are getting considerably more than the FDA recommended daily allowance of B-9 in a form which they are unable to utilize.

    Vitamin B-9 is crucial in many biological processes. The inability to utilize natural folate and be additionally hindered by the inability to clear folic acid which blocks utilization of natural folate will have detrimental effects on any person and perhaps even more detrimental to a developing child.

    Many parents with autistic children have found noticeable improvements in their children when they eliminated all sources of folic acid and supplemented with more bio available forms such as methylfolate. The same goes for adults.

    Of course then there is the use of glutamic acid and other precursors to MSG (like “yeast extract”), in varying quantities, in baby formula and so many other foods. MSG is considered to be neurotoxic. Some SNP variances will effect a body’s processing of glutamic acid.

    You might find this link on the National Nutrition Association’s website a good place to start with an overview of neurotoxins and then continue your research from there. http://americannutritionassociation.org/newsletter/review-excitotoxins-taste-kills

    Other SNP variances will also contribute to depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, IBS, fibromyalgia, MS, blood clots, stroke, chemical sensitivities. I highly recommend that parents investigate their children’s SNPs through economically priced genetic testing such as that offered by 23andme to get a full scope of your DNA (not just on a couple of SNPs). You do not need to do this through a doctor’s office.

    Downloading your entire genetic data file and entering it into one of the helpful independent services online can help you make sense of your susceptibilities and make some recommendations on how you might move forward to improve your health and your children. If you or your children suffer some chronic conditions that are hard to pinpoint or treat you might find the answers in your DNA.

    1. Well said Karri

21. I really appreciate that there are some logical and funny people in the world. It is so sad that kids will get sick and some of them die from the diseases these vaccines protect against. At the end of the day though some people would rather pass around fascinating articles from unreliable sources and pass it off as fact. Still keep on fighting the good fight maybe you might help to educate some into doing the right thing. To all you doctors out there who have to listen to these self-proclaimed experts, I am truly sorry that your years upon years of schooling isn’t enough for them. It is enough for me and my family though if that makes a difference.

    1. So basically your dr told you it was safe and you believed him?? you did ask your dr if it was safe, right??? i mean you don’t just blindly believe everything he says , you do question things right???

       See ppl who don’t have vax have proof the vaccines are causing heath issues.
       Ask your dr what the ingredients of any vaccine and see what his response is?
       Ask him if it’s ok for anyone? if he says yes he’s a freaking LIAR. AS right on the back of the insert DEATH, seizures, auto immune illness are all side effects,. Ppl like you , oh well, just keep it at that.

       1. 1. They have no proof. They just like to think they know more than people.

          2. No doctor is going to flat out say it’s safe. There are many complications with all drugs. Even Ibuprofen. Even essential oils (since I feel like you’re the type of person who relies on all wholistic things). But here’s the thing: would you rather your child get a vaccinations with an astronomical chance of something minor happening…or would you rather risk your child dying at the hands of diseases that can be prevented? If you choose the latter…I question your parenting skills.

          3. Of course vaccinations aren’t OK for everyone. That’s why there’s such thing as Herd Immunity (I know…that may be a foreign term. It’s ok if you need to pause and look it up to understand). However, now that people believe they know more about their child’s and other children’s health than physicians that have studied for decades and decide not to vaccinate their kids, it becomes a problems for those that cannot get a vaccination for a legitimate reason (not that their parent’s are complete prats and understand nothing about science).

          4. You can’t even capitalize words in the right places or spell the word “people”. Why would you think you have any credibility at all? I know elementary grammar may be above your education level (based off of your comment in general), but learn something for once…please.

22. Am from Malaysia, government pay for my childs vaccination. So how does that make doctor make money.

    To me I hv a believe and so do you. We don’t have to judgmental. Since you said ever mom know what she doing, do let them do what they do.

23. The average doctor barely knows a thing about the vaccines they are pushing other than having been taught they are safe. vaccines affect the immune system, the work and study of an immunologist…fool
    this entire article is shit… present a valid argument before you just play off everyone who doesn’t vaccinate as an idiot…satire serves no purpose other than convey you’re a dick.

    1. Of course the vaccines affect the immune system… that’s the point of vaccines!

       There is not one single valid argument against the standard set of vaccines. Not. A. Single. One.

       1. That’s. not. true. Look up peer reviewed literature on chicken pox vaccine in children causing shingles in the elderly. In the imunocompromised and those with anaphylaxis vaccination is often contraindicated. Prevenar is only effective for 4 months. Flu vaccinations ( total farce) are only for one strain….yet a retro virus mutates between each host making the vaccination worthless. Gardasil is only 2 or 4 strains of hpv yet over 20 hpv strains are linked to cervical cancer. Finally, vaccines are not nearly as effective as you think. Most sitting around 60 – 85 % efficacy. The USA has implemented a vaccine injury scheme…. currently in the US more children die from the measles vaccine than they do from measles

       2. Most of that is common knowledge, but the conclusions were awkward The immunocompromised people depend on us who can be vaccined and prevent them catching the illness Statistically there has to be about 90% of the population vaccinated and immune to stop an epidemic. Has it been a coincidence or an act of God that polio is rare and small pox is gone? There is no easy way out but this religion worshipping hear says and cursing medicine frightens me.

       3. Hi, mom of an immune comprised son here (heart transplant and HLH). People with compromised immune systems get most vaccines. They cannot receive LIVE vaccines. The majority of vaccinations are not live. Just want to clarify.

       4. Actually, the peer reviewed evidence says the chicken pox vaccine *reduces* the risk of shingles, not causes it. Sorry. http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/downloads/varicella.pdf

       5. Currently studying to be a doctor. As part of this degree, we learn how vaccines work which kinda makes sense if we are going to be prescribing and administering them. As Elizabet G said, of course vaccines affect the immune system. The immune system is what is used to fight infections so trying to work via another system would be…a novel approach, to say the least.

          Shingles is a manifestation of reactivation of the Varicella Zoster virus (Chicken pox). Occurrence of shingles in the elderly following chicken pox vaccine administration occurs in a minority and is a result of not being vaccinated as a child. If you’re vaccinated against chicken pox as an infant, you don’t need the shot as an old person and won’t get shingles as an old person.

          The influenza vaccine contains multiple strains and is based upon seasonal variation. Please fact check. It is recommended for those who are more susceptible to severe consequences e.g. those with lower immunity (kids, the elderly, HIV sufferers) or respiratory compromise e.g. asthma, COPD, CF. These people are more likely to die if they get the flu.

          Gardasil protects against four strains of HPV, two of which cause genital warts and the the other two are responsible for close to 100% of cervical cancer cases. It is worthwhile getting.

          The claim that more children die from the MMR vaccine than from measles itself has been debunked. Deaths have occurred in children receiving the MMR vaccine and these deaths were subsequently found to result from unrelated factors.
          The WHO states that, “During 2000-2015, measles vaccination prevented an estimated 20.3 million deaths making measles vaccine one of the best buys in public health.”

    2. That comment serves no purpose other than to convey that you’re a moron.

24. Sounds like a bully to me. I’m pro vaccine but I am happy to. I have friends who don’t but I don’t hate them for standing up for their beliefs. How would you feel if people were bullying you to hurt your child ? Some nasty words in that article. Shame on you really.

    1. But belief is inappropriate here. Believing that that vaccines cause autism, there is no climate change, the world is flat, etc. does not make it true. And standing up for such a belief is not heroic. Rather it is just dumb.

       At some point you have to base your actions on evidence and fact rather than some bad feeling you have about something.

    2. It’s not a matter of belief in this situation. You see I’m sure that some parents believe that beating their kid to a bloody pulp would make them behave better, are you proud of those parents for standing up for their beliefs? Really at the end of the day when it comes to a child’s health and well-being, we can make few allowances for potentially reckless and at worst deadly mistakes.

25. What an absolute bellend you are jamie
