5 Reasons To NOT Vaccinate Your Kids
People shouldn’t have to vaccinate their kids. In fact, parents absolutely know what’s best for their kids in every situation, which is why you’ve never heard of a mom calling a doctor at two AM because her child has a fever.
Moms automatically know exactly what to do. They know better than anyone what their child needs or doesn’t need.
That’s why the vaccination debate is so ridiculous to me…because moms inherently know more than everyone. Which brings me to this… 5 Reasons To NOT Vaccinate Your Kids.
When a woman conceives a child, the entirety of human knowledge is written into her essence and as that child is brought forth unto this world, that knowledge flowers in her mommy brain and every decision she makes for her child is absolutely the right, and only right decision.
So who are we to judge those moms that choose NOT to vaccinate THEIR kids?
Before you get your mom panties in a knot, hear me out…
5 Reasons To NOT Vaccinate Your Kids
1. You don’t like them, anyway.
I get it. Some kids are just born a little more awful than others. So if your plan is to not vaccinate your kid in hopes that they’ll catch some horrible virus that’ll off them so you can start over, sure. That makes total sense.
It’s evil, and disgusting, and I hope you get a million fire ant bites, but hey, the good news is that’s less likely to happen to you than your child catching something deadly because you’re an inherent dumb-dumb.
2. You’re more scared of big scientific sounding words than you are of viruses that have killed millions upon millions of people.
I get it! Vaccines have a lot of big, scary words. And, some of the ingredients in vaccines have been linked to carcinogenic risks and I bet even a very eensy teensy tiny portion of the population might be allergic to some of the ingredients and they might have a bad reaction.
Know what? That’s why the doctor keeps you at the office for 15 minutes after your child receives a vaccine. That way if they react, the doctor can fix it. Nifty set up, huh?
As for the scary words, know what other scientific word kills people? Dihydrogen monoxide. And yet you still put it into your body every single day. So put away your dictionary, and stop freaking out over words that you maybe don’t understand.
3. You believe all internet memes are true.
“Gandhi was against vaccines. A mother flipping meme told me so.” Yeah, I’ve seen that meme. And I’ve looked it up. And you know what he compared vaccines to? Eating beef.
Vaccines are as bad as eating beef because cows and all life is sacred. So here’s where that comes from: the small pox vaccine was derived from cows infected with cow pox. Which means that every person who received a small pox vaccine was being given a small amount of cow.
I can definitely understand why a man whose religion holds cows as sacred would be against being injected with one. But unless you, too, are a fruitarian (which he was), perhaps you should put down your Big Mac and go get your kids their freakin’ vaccines.
4. You’d rather your children build their immunity to things like polio and measles naturally…just like you did.
Oh, wait. You didn’t have polio did you. Know why? ‘CAUSE YOUR PARENTS GOT YOU VACCINATED!
5. You know more about vaccines from that one article you read online than your pediatrician knows after eight years of higher education and thousands of hours of study.
I’ll just let the people in this video address that one…
Look, I understand that I don’t live in your house, I’ve not experienced your life and I certainly can’t judge you for your parenting choices. But I’m going to anyway.
Not getting your children vaccinated is really stupid. Like, it’s really stupid.
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 if it just affected YOUR children, I might even be able to hold back my vitriol; but, it doesn’t.
Your infected child can infect a child who is too young to be vaccinated. Your child can infect a child who is fighting cancer, or whose immunity has been compromised by something else entirely out of their control.
YOUR child can act as a walking time bomb and spread illnesses that haven’t been around for years all because the idea of giving them a medically sound shot scares you.
Your child deserves better. Get your kids vaccinated. Don’t be that parent that we all hate.
Jamie’s Note: To those parents who can’t vaccinate because their child is immunocompromised, or allergic, etc. this obviously isn’t directed at you. In fact, you should be the most pissed off at the people who don’t vaccinate their perfectly healthy children– because that is how your children stay safe!

DEAR MOM OF THE CHILD WHO JUST CUT HER OWN HAIR…
DEAR FAT CHICKS: YOU NEED TO STOP
I JUST WATCHED A WOMAN GIVE BIRTH…TO A DOLL…
Maybe you should make an informed decision based on advice from your health care practitioner instead of intuition or random internet articles. You are dead wrong. If you hear from your doctor that you should and you don’t then you deserve to have dead kids. It’s people like this that are causing major epidemics of preventable illnesses. Putting other people’s infants at risk of death sure you should be able to make a choice like this about your children if you want them to die that’s cool but it’s not just about your children it’s effecting everyone else who dont want there kids to die.
Utter stupidity. Read some vaccine inserts. Hey read something! Because this article is such a joke I can’t even take it. Maybe you should stop reading pro vax memes because that’s about all this article is sighting. Ugh the stupidity is overwhelming
“Read some vaccine inserts.”
Jesus Christ, really…this is your standard of proof and support for anti-vaxxing? Do you use aspirin, ibuprofen, and/or acetaminophen? Cough syrup? Antacid? Tampons (if applicable)? Etc? Have you ever read those inserts? Then convinced yourself of your newfound medical expertise, and summarily stopped using the products (as well as advocating that others do so) out of raw ignorant fear? Yeah, I bet not. Because *that* would seem ridiculous and reactionary.
I find this article great! A sense of humour and the truth! Vaccination is best! Why risk the lives of your kids or others? Our pediatricians aren’t lying to us for their benefits! I had chicken pox as a kid, yup I’m OK now but wish the vaccine was around then so I don’t have a high risk of getting shingles!
I got the shingles vaccine, so glad I did.
You actually have a higher risk of getting shingles because of the chicken pox vaccine. Without wild pox going around, your body loses ability to fight off the virus. That’s why we see so many shingles cases these days. It is going to only get worse.
#1 I do not vaccinate because I love my children and understand the risk of vaccination, read the vaccine inserts. The National Children’s Vaccine injury Act of 1986 declared vaccines “unavoidably unsafe.” This means they can never be made safe. #2 You need to do some research. The death rates declined for these diseases long before vaccines were introduced. (And if vaccines are the reason… why are people not dying in the millions and millions of scarlet fever? No vaccine and death rates declined right along with all the other diseases you are afraid of.) #3 I did not get my information from memes. I learned about vaccines by reading vaccine inserts, research studies, MSDS, and #4 I DID get my immunity naturally. You shouldn’t assume things.And for those who did get vaccinated decades ago, vaccines to not give lifetime immunity and they are no longer considered immune anyhow. Most adults have not been considered fully vaccinated their entire adult life. So the whole, but you were vaccinate why not vaccinate you kid, is a faulty logic. #5 Do you know what education pediatricians receive about vaccines? I do. They are given the vaccine schedule 1/2 page of vaccine injuries are rare. And a whole class period on how to coerce vaccine-hesitant parents. Otherwise known as how to violate the Neurmberge code of ethics and the right to refuse treatment. And now for a news flash. IMMUNE SYSTEMS ARE FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. This means my immune system will not protect anyone else from measles. Since it says right on the vaccine insert recently vaccinated persons should avoid immune compromised, please do not vaccinate to protect my child. The pertussis vaccine creates asymptomatic carriers who spread whooping cough. My children and I can’t be vaccinated. I do not want others to risk their lives with a vaccine under the false notion that it MAY protect us. It won’t. (Do you really think calling someone stupid will convince them you are right? If so, I encourage you to read The Fallacy Detective. It’s a great book on logic and reason and you need some practice.)
There is no vaccine for scarlet fever. But thanks for playing anyway.
There is no vaccine for scarlet fever and the disease has not become an epidemic she is saying it is proof that diseases can decline on their own without a vaccine. Diseases that we fear were lowered before the introduction of vaccines.
Absolutely agree with Mama grape!
That is because scarlet fever is a bacterial infection not a virus. The reason scarlet fever died out is because of the widespread use of penicillin in the 20th century to treat Streptococcus infections. I think you need to do more research on vaccines. As a medical student, it’s sad to see such uninformed parents. I feel bad for your children.
Everything you posted you read from Fake News and inappropriate memes – but hey, they’re your kids…. so if they succumb to a preventable disease, or give it to some one who really CAN’T have vaccines, then that’ll be on your conscious. Meanwhile, I know I hve done everything in my power to be sure my children are protected from actual threats instead of the bogeyman.
Why is our generation that were vaccinated living longer, I wonder is because we were vaccinated?
MamaGrape, I am with you!
Thank god for the “No jab, no play” rule is all I Can say!
Actually there’s this thing called herd immunity in where if the majority of people get vaccinated, it will protect the few that aren’t due to immunocompromised or whatever. So please do more research before spouting ridiculous things.
Furthermore, NOTHING can guarantee to be 100% safe. DRUGS are unavoidably unsafe as well. The idea is that the benefits outweigh the risks. So by that logic, don’t take any medications.
Oh also hand sanitizers! They aren’t 100% either. . .guess you should stop using that too
The flippant tone of this article is almost as tolerable as the obvious uneducated opinion on this subject. If you are going to write on a subject, you should at least have some basic knowledge of the views you are arguing against.
As someone who was very staunchly pro-vaccine for many many years, I have found that people who once believed what I once did and say what I once said will never ever be open to learning the truth. I wasn’t. I threatened to sue if someone’s child got me sick as I have several autoimmune diseases. I’m well-educated and well-read. I believed fiercely that I knew the *TRUTH* and all of these people who dared question vaccines were obviously stupid and gullible and…
Then I met a young girl who changed my life and turned everything I thought I *KNEW FOR SURE* on its head. She is disabled at 16 from Gardasil Syndrome (www.gardasilsyndrome.com I think).
As an educated person who is a life-long learner, I decided to study both sides of the vaccine issue. I wanted to know what both sides had as their SCIENCE. So I read close to 3 dozen medical studies with a particular eye to HOW the study was conducted: was it a blind or double-blind study? What was the sample size? Were the controls done correctly? What financial bias may have influenced the study (who paid for it?) and how have the people involved in the study benefited since publication. Then, I watched more than 30 HOURS of interviews with data scientists, statisticians, doctors of all different kinds, lawyers with expertise on how the “vaccine court” really works, immunologists, researchers, and so on. Then I looked up every single one of those people, their history and background to see for myself how credible these people were. All this time, watching as my young friend has continued to go through the worst kind of hell due to her own vaccine injury.
And after all of that what I know for sure is this:
1. One does NOT have to be an “anti-vaxxer” to believe that all human beings deserve the right of informed consent. This means full disclosure of everything, and I mean EVERYTHING in that shot and ALL possible side effects. Spoiler alert, one of the commenters mentioned death being listed as a possible side effect and this is accurate. Death is listed as a side effect for every single vaccine. Another mentioned that our own government acknowledges that vaccines are “inherently unsafe” and this is also accurate.
2. Yes, several vaccines do still have thimerasol in them, including the regular flu shot, the tentanus shot, and some versions of the Hep B shot. Thimerasol is mercury. For the shots that had mercury removed, other preservatives or adjuvants were put in to replace them such as aluminum, formaldehyde, polysorbate 80 to name just a few. All of these are toxic. Period.
3. The vaccine manufacturers ARE Big Pharma. The same corporations who make pharmaceuticals also manufacture all of the vaccines used across the globe.
4. In 1986, the Childhood Vaccine Safety Act was passed. This act set up the “vaccine court”, the Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting System (VAERS), and most importantly for this argument, it 100% indemnified vaccine manufacturers from ANY LIABILITY regarding the vaccines they produce. If you or your child is injured or dies from a vaccine, it is illegal to sue the company who made it. You are forced to sue the US Government through the vaccine court. Average time between case filing and a decision: 12-15 YEARS. Why did our government give these companies 100% blanket immunity from any liability? Because not a single insurance company would cover the vaccine division of these pharmaceutical companies because of the unacceptable risk. So, the manufacturers threatened to “take away” all the vaccines and refuse to provide any vaccine stock to this country if the US Government did not give them this 100% liability protection (sounds a bit like blackmail to me). Then, these corporations have used the US Government’s protection as a case in point to force dozens of other countries into passing similar legislation.
5. Arguing with someone who is of the mindset I once had is useless. I know because I was one of them and I would have an argument for anything you threw at me.
6. The CDC is not a credible or reliable source of information when it comes to vaccines. They hold ownership stake (partial or full) in at least 20 vaccine patents. They also directly sell more than $4.6 billion worth of vaccines every single year to state and local health agencies. In fact, Robert F Kennedy Jr. has stated that “the CDC should be considered, at this point, a wholly owned subsidiary of the pharmaceutical industry.”
7. “Vaccines have decades and decades of studies of their safety and effectiveness.” Nope. They don’t. This doesn’t mean that some vaccines have not been shown beneficial based on anecdotal evidence. But the actual proof, the SCIENCE, doesn’t exist. Let me repeat because I have searched and searched and searched. It doesn’t exist. And the few studies people try to use as proof have significant flaws in the way they were conducted. See the beginning of my comment re: studies.
8. Vaccines do not cause autism. Technically, that is correct. Brain injury causes autism. Brain injury can occur through a variety of ways. Certain ingredients in some vaccines are one of those ways, including vaccines given to pregnant women. This also includes environmental factors, other means of heavy metal and toxicity exposure, alcohol and drug use while pregnant, etc. Brain injury that leads to neurological regression disorders like autism can be caused by many sources, usually a combination of things + genetic susceptibility. A better statement would be that in some cases, vaccine ingredients can contribute heavily to the development of neurodevelopmental regression and autism.
9. To process the amount of mercury in one dose of the regular flu vaccine with total elimination and zero lasting negative impact on any system in the body, an individual would have to weigh 550+ lbs. That would be an impossibly enormous baby (they get the same dose as adults).
After all this, what I know for sure is that we have been lied to as a general public. I know that I started my journey expecting my pro-vaccine stance to be thoroughly backed up by such huge amounts of evidence that it would bury the other side. I started out with my own bias. What I learned scares the hell out of me. I did not want to admit that what I had believed and even verbally attacked my own stepsister with had been based on lies.
What I know for sure is that what we DON’T KNOW even still about the vaccine issue could fill entire libraries.
And what I know for sure is that unless you meet someone who is vaccine injured or whose child is vaccine injured, you will cling to what you’ve been told by the government and the CDC and Big Pharma and beat people mercilessly with it for daring to disagree with you. I know because I was you. You MUST vaccinate because “IT’S WHAT WE DO!!!”
I’m not giving advice to anyone about whether they should or should not vaccinate themselves or their children.
The World Mercury Project, led by Robert F Kennedy Jr and others, currently has a $100,000 reward up for anyone in the world who can locate a correctly performed clinical study that proves the safety of thimerasol in vaccines. If the SCIENCE is really there, someone will find it. In fact, that person could be you. May the odds be ever in your favor.
We vaccinate because dying from communicable diseases hurts.
Maybe you should lose the tin foil and pick up a course on biology, you jackass.
Of course everything the government and big pharma companies must be true.
Maybe you should try to understand that your opinion doesn’t make her opinion wrong.
Enlightened Learner
Not everything scientific is open to the public you know. Actually, most papers aren’t. Unless you’re part of a scientific community or a university you have only scratched the surface. The surface visible on the internet is far from representative.
This article scares me. I have a daughter almost two and before she turned one I was so scared she was going to get the measles. Reason because she has to wait until she is one to get the shot as most of you know. My opinion is if you choose not to vaccinate your child, that is your choice but as soon as you bring them in public, I feel like that is when you are taking away everyone’s choice by putting ours at risk. If you don’t want to vaccinate your child then don’t take them in public. I don’t know if I am right but this is how I feel trusting myself and Drs.
It’s good you want to protect your children. Please be aware that newly vaccinated children and adults are also carrying the virus. Read up on vaccines shedding, The unvaccinated will look and act sick, so they will not be walking around infecting people. The vaccinated will have a contagious virus as well but will not look or act sick, so they are out in the world spreading things. Go to Learnthetruth.org to start your own research.
Jan, you are stupid as shit.
Vaccine shedding is not a thing. It’s a lie that anti-vaxxers made up to shift the blame on other people due to the measles coming back.
And guess what, dumbass? The viruses in vaccines are none-functional. They don’t do anything. It’s like ripping off a crabs pincers and placing it in a room full of otters. It’s completely defenseless.
Your source is bad and you should feel bad.
Eat a dick, Jan.
Really? I was told by the pediatrician who vaccinated my children that they shouldn’t be around sick people or very young babies for about a week. Why is that? Is it because they are so safe?? No, It is because they were injected with a live virus.
Line up for your flu vaccine. We really don’t need people like you on the planet. Go get jabbed…
There is so so much conflicting data on each side of this debate that I FEEL SORRY FOR PARENTS! The decision they are having to make with such strong opposing opinions, information and data is just sickening. As a parent of course I want to do what is best and safest but I have researched and researched over and over both sides of this debate EXTENSIVELY and I’m so lost. I have fully vaccinated my child and I still feel afraid and no peace either way. One cannot deny autism is on the rise and it is going strong. It is not uncommon to know several people now with autistic children. This is frightening. And the countries who don’t vaccinate, have the lowest cases of autism. But on the other hand polio and measles…? Wow how horrible to not vaccinate and risk these diseases?! This is a horrible and MAJORLY IMPORTANT topic of confusion in our modern world that I am shocked science hasn’t officially been able to prove a side! Oh and to add, FDA approves many many harmful things humans that places like parts of Europe and Japan have banned. Putting faith and trust in them to protect us is sadly mislead.
No. There is no conflicting data. Vaccines are incredibly safe but for an incredibly small percentage of the population. Stop with the nonsense. If you claim to have researched then you would know this. You’re looking at nonsense garbage science anti-vax sites if you’ve come to any other conclusion. It’s anecdotal, but do you know anyone who has/had polio? You’re welcome.
this is no link between autism and vaccines. however there is better diagnostic tools and a better understanding and larger understanding of what qualifies as autism.
The fraud who made the disproven paper saying there was a link was proven to show he had a vested interest in having the MMR vaccine made into single doses, which is what his paper pushed for, by owning the patents for the single dose vaccines. Also he forged data and some of the children he said had autism in his research dont.
In many of those countries you are talking about, access to a diagnosis is often harder to come by.
So someone who has the vaccine can get sick from those who don’t? Isn’t that what the vaccine is supposed to prevent?
Hate to break it to you, but vaccines aren’t 100% effective. Vaccines are a game of statistics and probability. Suppose you get a vaccine than just doesn’t produce an adequate immunogenic response (which will of course be unknown to you). You’ll still probably be okay (and NOT contract a serious disease) if you live in a population in which most people have received the vaccination that just didn’t work for you.
But, based on your comment, I wouldn’t expect you to understand this.
Your opinion is so very dangerous.
Putting a mother who has no support and genuinely concerned for the safety of her children to get a story out there.
Not only that but kick her when shes down.
You have contructed an opinion from what.
This is what makes it hard is the constant gang up on people who dont have enough to satisfy there question.
Our dotor could only recite from a pamphlet and not give information actually another doctor gave us expired iron tablets.
Vaccines are a product which they need to sell to make quota and money from.
Why wont you support is it because you have already made the decision so if you were to support its negatives it would make you wrongfor doing so to your own kids. Dont go around insulting people who are not convinced of the safety of vaccines.
Maybe once upon a time they were. But did you know science is never 100 percent complete but always being researched. So maybe 3 vaccines have 20 years research but not the other 55. What about the new one. That would need 20 years research before knowing the real consequences. I dont advocate my baby to be a research rat. 30 years ago smoking was cool and healthy now its the number 1 killer. Think about that for a second.
Let it sink in.
We are science rats in a very big and complex scientific experiment.
Some vaccines are safe but new one’shave to be studied in real time. On real children.
Use your logic.
Support these children and there parents.
You can call me stupid but I consider you the stupid one ! The medical community in this country makes a fortune off of stupid people like you who don’t believe our bodies can maintain their good health by taking proper care of our skeletal frame and the food we put in it !
Go ahead and eat your junk food and man made substsnces and hope there is a pill to cure you
Go ahead and get cancer and hope chemo will cure it
I on the other hand will live my life and my children’s life as naturally as possible and follow the five steps of maximized living
AMEN!!!
Tell that to a kid I know that has been debilitated by and (and is actively dying from) SSPE. Measles isn’t always just a fever and rash.
You double down on the stupid, anti-vaccine and chiro. Best of luck with that.
Twenty-one years ago, I caught my second case of chicken pox. I should’ve been kept far away from my mother who was battling lung cancer, but she insisted on nursing me back to health. Even as a child I understood what it meant by a cold could be dangerous for her, chicken pox moreso.
Twenty years ago, my mother died. She had gone downhill after exposure to my chicken pox. I am still convinced my chicken pox were partly responsible for her death.
I have asthma and would normally get the flu vaccine. I would update my vaccines whenever necessary, such as updating the whooping cough vaccine before my nephew was born.
At the moment though, I can’t. I have been dealing with ongoing illness for over two years now and my doctor advised that, until we know what we’re dealing with exactly, it would not be wise to get my annual flu shot or any updates. I did find out I have an auto-immune condition (not lupus, but still not completely diagnosed…it might be Hashimoto’s). I caught a cold and it has knocked me for a loop! My friends and family understand I have to depend on herd immunity lest I catch something serious and it puts me in hospital. Of course, I can’t exactly count on everyone at doctor’s clinics or the hospital (where I have specialist appointments or if I need to go to emergency) being vaccinated, thanks to the anti-vax movement.
The pertussis vaccine (whooping cough) creates asymptomatic carriers. If you get it you are endangering others who are immunocompromised. (There is a medical textbook, Vaccines and Autoimmunity, which illustrates how vaccines cause autoimmune disorders. You may recommend your doctor read it.)
I’m 18 and I was immunocompromised last year after contracting mono. Within weeks of recovering from the mono, I became infected with whooping cough. Even though I was vaccinated, I still managed to get whooping cough due to decreased functionality of my immune system. The only reason I was exposed to the virus in the first place was because a mother of a student at my boarding school never vaccinated her kid, (also 18 years old at this point). If I had been younger, or sicker to begin with, I could have needed to be hospitalized. If the kid who infected me had come into contact with the boarding school staffs new babies or toddlers, there could have been deaths. This kid’s mom is lucky that only a strong, healthy young adult got sick because of her decision. There is no excuse for not vaccinating your kid unless there are real medical reasons against it. Refusing to vaccinate your kid may not hurt them, but 10 or 15 or 20 years later it could hurt someone else.
That’s extremely tough to o prove.
So is the fact that vaccines cause autism. But you apparently don’t have a problem with that.
BTW, I probably should have said: “Fact” that vaccines cause autism. (Spoiler alert: Vaccines absolutely do not cause autism).
The pertussis vaccine (whooping cough) creates asymptomatic carriers. This means a vaccinated person can spread whooping cough and have no symptoms. They also know that the vaccine immunity to pertussis lasts between one and three years.There is no lifetime immunity to whooping cough.
First off I do not really lean either way on this issue I am a single disabled mom with one disabled son Elijah has had every vaccination but at one time when he was young a “dr” forced a vaccination on him when he was already sick he landed up in the hospital he later developed autism he already had asthma and angelmon syndrome it was not necessarily the vaccine but the fact it was forced when he was already sick drs do not by any means know everything I have been struggling and declining in health for the last 5 years been to a number of specialists they don’t know squat I have been fighting since birth some conditions I have I was born with some I developed over time but what’s happening now not one dr knows or can do anything they’re not even trying so don’t give me a holier then though speech on how drs know all put them on a pedestal they don’t
Maybe the vaccines you have been subjected to adversely affected your reproductive system. It seems that you don’t have any periods.
Hahaha!
That is the longest sentence with the worst spelling, grammar and wind I’ve ever encountered. I’m going to assume from all that that you are pretty badly educated. There’s a whole lot of what’s wrong right there.
“badly educated”??? Really? Pot, kettle…..stones, glass houses — sound familiar? SMDH
You’re disabled, and I’m sorry to see your son was born with issues, but it was possibly the vaccines that gave your son autism? Come on.
This is the dumbest post I’ve ever read.
This is a very intellectually immature article. The only thing this woman demonstrates is misanthropy, not knowledge. She just really doesn’t like people. I find it hard to believe that she is an actual mother.
Ignorant people rely on insult. Intelligent people rely on argument. (Invoking college dropout like Jimmy Kimmel is really desperate form of insult).
At any rate, vaccination is never really covered in medical school. That is a fact. So it’s preposterous to say that doctors have “studied vaccination for eight years.”
Personally, I studied science at UC Berkeley and I like a sound scientific argument. But the only ones making a sound argument about vaccines these days are the vaccine skeptics. The vaccine true-believers are relying on insult. And insult is always a sign of ignorance (or deceit).
Vaccines aren’t covered in med school? That’s weird. I have distinct memories of learning about them in med school. I have notes about vaccines.
Where did these notes come from?
PrimaryCareDoc, Learning the vaccine schedule, how to inject vaccines and coerce “vaccine hesitant” parents is not being educated about vaccines. Have you read vaccine inserts? Have you read the MSDS that say it’s safe to inject these chemicals? Did you read the studies that show its safe to inject our children with 74 vaccine doses before age 18? Did you read the study that shows it’s safe to inject a 1.4kg premature infant with the same dose that an 81kg grown adult would receive?
If you intentionally don’t vaccinate your kids because you think that your experience with an alternative medicine blog is better for them than decades of trials, approval of the FDA, and the recommendation of literally every doctor that still has a medical license, you don’t have the right to say that someone’s satire article isn’t based on a sound argument.
Decades of trials? Please show me one that shows that the schedule of 74 doses of vaccines before age 18 is safe?
Vaccination is 100% covered in medical school (4 years). And pediatricians learn it inside and out in their pediatrics residencies (3 years). Your UC Berkeley “Science” degree does not qualify you to make that claim.
– a graduating medical student…. who studied vaccines like every other medical student
You learned the vaccine schedule, how to give vaccines and how to coerce “vaccine hesitant” parents into vaccinating. And yes, you studied vaccines “like every other medical student.” Congratulations. You did not learn to think for yourself and do your own research on vaccine safety. I encourage you to put your medical training to good use and read the medical textbook,.Vaccines, and Autoimmunity.
Although I do agree that not getting your child vaccinated can be dangerous. But I highly advise you do your research on prolonged vaccinations and selective vaccinations. I do disagree that every vaccination is necessary for children. We are one of the most vaccinated countries in the world with some of the sickest people.
On the flip side amusing that everyone who doesn’t get their child vaccinated is uneducated. I work for a doctor who has never vaccinated any of his three children.
You’re a fucking idiot. Please shut your mouth and let the people with an education talk.
Adam just demonstrated my point. Vaccine true believers are, at heart, misanthropes.
Thanks, Adam.
Still no answer on the study of vaccine, Burmese?
“We are one of the most vaccinated countries in the world with some of the sickest people.”
I’m assuming you talk about the USA. That being said, why do you link sickness with vaccines? Where are you taking this data from? Are you solely comparing countries on vaccination? Did you take into consideration other factors of disease, such as water quality, nutrition, pollution, quality of life, physical activity patterns, mental health?
Linking disease to vaccinations as an exclusive relation is both a scientific and a logical fallacy.
Camille, The highest number of infant vaccines and among the highest infant mortality rate. I’ll let you do the internet search, you seem bright enough.
There is one very simple solution to this entire thing – don’t have kids.
No kids – no forced vaccination.
And you don’t have to vaccinate anymore in your life, as an adult you have that right.
Case closed.
Why does everyone assume that the unvaccinated population is spreading disease? Ever heard of vaccine shedding? It is a VERY REAL possibility and I’m willing to bet that the rise of an “eradicated” disease is from the vaccine itself. Funny how everyone wants to flip out about a measles outbreak in California and is so quick to blame the unvaccinated children, when the infected kids were VACCINATED. Also, YOU CAN’T PROVE THAT AN UNVACCINATED CHILD SPREADS DISEASE. We have this fancy thing called sanitation now and we also wipe out butts with toilet paper and (most of us) have good hygiene…hello, disease decline. You can’t honestly expect people to be okay with purposefully injecting their baby, (not like a teenager or an adult) we’re talking about the most innocent of creatures, with aborted fetal tissue, monkey kidney cells, bovine serum, heavy metals, formaldehyde, etc. I would like to see you get every injection a baby gets in one visit and see how you feel afterward. You can’t tell an entire population to vaccinate their kids when you don’t know that some terrified mom out there isn’t going to have that one kid who reacts badly. ONE death is bad, ONE severe allergic reaction is bad, ONE case of autism is bad, ONE medical diagnosis is bad. Don’t downplay that one just to make your ego look better to your readers. That is severly insensitive.
Yeah, you want to know how that happens? People stopped vaccinating, which allowed viruses to come back, pop up, and mutate. THAT’S WHY VACCINATED KIDS ARE GETTING DISEASES. VACCINE YOUR GODDAMN CHILDREN. For fucking fuck’s sake.
VACCINATE*** your goddamn children.
Kate I agree with you 100% I believe in building up immune systems to fight off disease. Eating real food. Taking probiotics and increasing Vit D3 is way more effective than being injected with animal parts, aborted babies and cancer causing ingredients. Our country is full of sickness because we think drugs are our answer for health.
Vaccines are not made of aborted babies & cancer causing ingredients.. that is completely absurd. Also..NO…simply “building” up your immune system is NOT effective against highly contagious viruses like polio and measles. These deadly viruses have been largely eradicated because of vaccines, that is a scientific fact. Also, the unlucky few who cannot be vaccinated due to allergies depend on the population to be vaccinated so that they don’t become sick, it’s called herd immunity.
So, Mel, Probiotics to my kids, and they’ll be covered from Measles, Mumps, Rubella & Polio? Check???? Where are have been hiding? Why dint you write a goddamn book?
“Our country is full of sickness because we think drugs are our answer for health.” Ouch…when you compare vaccine with drugs…
Yup,she’s educated folks,lol.If they ARE vaccinated,how would they get sick?It’s not failure to vaccinate causing new cases,it’s immigrants bringing these diseases back.
No it isn’t. Everybody blames everything on immigrants but it’s not rational or fair or true.
So vaccine shedding is not a thing. Most of the time, vaccines are disabled viruses that trigger an immune response so that you have memory cells should you come into contact with the disease again. Thus, no actual viruses are injected into you. I like to think of it as a fire alarm test for your body. You give your body harmless antigens so that your immune system can identify it and readily attack it should they encounter it again. Just like you practice fire alarms so that when a fire actually happens you are prepared and know what to do. Thus, vaccine shedding is false, and should not be an argument that you use against vaccines if you want to sound smart and back up your claims with facts. As to the rest of your argument, yes one allergic reaction, one death, and one bad reaction are bad. But you know what’s worse? Dying of Polio. I partially think that this generation is so against vaccinations because they could not see the devastating effect of some of the diseases that are almost eradicated now because of vaccines. If you saw people you loved dying a slow painful death due to polio, I doubt you wouldn’t vaccinate your child because some people believe it causes autism. In addition, basically every new thing you feed your child has the potential of inducing an allergic response and causing death. But I guess based on your argument you shouldn’t ever feed them peanuts, soy, shellfish, or any other foods besides your breast milk for fear of a reaction? I do believe that our country relies too much on medicine, especially antibiotics and pain medication, and I work to end that abuse. However, I strongly believe that vaccinations are one of the most important and revolutionary things that have ever been produced in the medical field.
Please refrain from commenting if you don’t understand how infectious diseases work. Vaccinating creates herd immunity, so those that cannot be vaccinated and are susceptible to the disease are far less likely to get it (viral load in the population goes down). This is how diseases like smallpox were eradicated. You cannot eradicate an infectious disease by simply treating it without other preventive measures. You can look at any infectious disease you want, from Malaria, to TB, to any of the viral infections.
When you vaccinate the virus won’t be able to infect any of the protected hosts so it won’t be able to continue producing new viral particles and shedding back into the environment.
Some viruses like influenza can’t really be eradicated, but that’s not the case for many of the vaccines parents are choosing to avoid (i.e MMR)
I’m reading these comments and it staggers me to think that people are out there so gullible that they are willing the risk their children’s lives on such uninformed and ignorant assumptions that lack any merit whatsoever. Get vaccinated, the risk is infinitesimal compared to not vaccinating.
Not just their children. Other people’s children as well. It is terrifying.
Also, not just other children. Adults who were not vaccinated as children are susceptible. One if the reasons for the reduction in the number of deformed children born was due to vaccinations for Rubella. There are many important reasons for children to be vaccinated. Also, vaccines are not drugs, not made from aborted fetus’, not made from poisons. Don’t people do research on anything before they jump to conclusions???
Hit the nail squarely on the head.
PLEASE! GET A BETTER CONSULTANT FOR HEALTH-RELATED ARTICLES! The stock images you use….particularly the lead one, with the peraon supposedly getting ready to give that injection ….IS WEARING NO GLOVES!!!!!!! When the photos are ridiculous, it discredits the content!
I hate to tell you this, Amy, but our pediatrician doesn’t always put gloves on when giving shots. Gloves are not there to protect the patient. They are there to protect the doctor!
Actually, gloves are worn for the protection of the doctor and the patient. A patient does not need a doctor touching them without gloves on as that doctor has touched numerous other sick patients and can be a vector for infectious agents. I would insist that your pediatrician always wears gloves!
Clearly the author of this article only knows what she was taught in school, told by her parents & have experienced in life. Anyone who is fully conscious & aware knows the dangers of many of these vaccines. I’d like to know what doctor keeps a child 15 minutes after they are given shots to monitor any reactions… That doctor would have came in handy when my chilf nearly died feom the Flu shot she received at 1 years old. Please tell me how people were protected from diseases before??? Oh, that’s right – BREAST MILK. That’s all the vaccination you need right there. People get so used to everything that society has told them that they end up writing idiotic articles as such, sounding like a total dumbass. Telling someone to vaccinate their kids by administering a disease to prevent a disease is like telling someone to keep drinking to prevent getting drunk & hungover. You sound like a dumbass.
“Please tell me how people were protected from diseases before???”
They were not. That is why the life expectancy in the USA has gone from 39.4years in 1880 to 78.7 in 2011. This rise in life expectancy is from the discovery of antibiotics, discovery of sanitation and from the discovery of vaccines. No longer do we have issues with out outbreaks of cholera, typhoid, hepatitis, cryptosporidiosis, ascariasis, measles, mumps, polio, rubella, small pox. whooping cough and all the other childhood diseases that maimed or killed our kids. Oh wait, some parents are foregoing vaccines because “they made my child sick” and now we are having outbreaks of these diseases again…
Have you ever wondered why families from hundred+ years ago had lots of children? It is because there was a high chance that one or more of them would die before they became of age…
Actually Andrew the life expectancy in the past was so low because of the high death rate in child birth which skewed the overall figure.
I agree with you that antibiotics has increased life expectancy dramatically BUT not vaccinations.
Basically if the non-vaccinated children get a disease it won’t affect the vaccinated children…right?
Life Expectancy is not synonymous with Average Lifespan, it’s a completely different statistic.
No of course it won’t effect the children already vaccinated. But it will effect babies too young to be vaccinated and those most vulnerable like the terminally ill and the like. Also once a disease has infected one person then another and another and another you end up with an epidemic which we don’t want. That is what vaccinating is designed to prevent by giving people the immunity to fight the disease when they come in contact with those who may be carrying the disease or who are already infected and are ill.
Excellent point. It will also affect teachers who’s immunity to Rubella (German Measles) may have diminished over the years….. and their unborn kids….especially in early pregnancy when they might not know they’re pregnant.
Rubella is a mild illness…. but if contracted by pregnant women, especially in 1st trimester, can cause Congenital Rubella Syndrome.
Remember all those blind, deaf, and mentally disabled kids and with congenital heart diseases you knew in childhood? No? That’s because CRS basically ended and those outcomes drastically declined with the MMR vaccine.
Medicine is based on benefits outweighing risks, there is not 100% answer, or solution, but relative right or wrong.
Not necessarily so. Some children already vaccinated may also come down with a disease like measles if the vaccination didn’t “take”. Other people can come down with an illness if they haven’t had a booster shot in a while and their immunity has worn down. A person who is immunized, but hasn’t sufficiently built up immunity or whose vaccination didn’t “take” can also still be infected without showing symptoms, because they can be contagious up to four days for some illnesses such as Measles before showing any symptoms.That child brings that home to someone whose immunity has worn off, like Mom or Dad or Grandpa. Herd immunity only works so far. As fewer people get immunized against certain diseases, the incidence of outbreaks for those diseases increases.
WRONG! You are putting children who are too young to have received the vaccine at risk. You are putting about 5% of everyone that had the vaccine at risk. And if you’re doing this? You’re a fool.
I couldn’t have said it better!! Excellent response, and a polite one at that.
Please talk to an emergency physician who has been working more than 15 years. Just. Ask. Them. How many kids did they watch die? Just ask them.
Please, are you really that uninformed.
And you sound like a Google opinionated person. The herd immunity is all that stops mass epidemics of easily avoided disease. My (fully vaccinated) 26 year old son has advanced bowel cancer. Brief contact with the common cold put him in hospital for 3 days. Something like whooping cough would probably kill him.
An ill-educated decision not to vaccinate your child could take my son’s life. Happy with that are you anti-vaxxers??
“Please tell me how people were protected from diseases before???”
You mean, all those people who had polio? Are those the people you’re asking about?
What a terrible article! Full of scare tactics and no real facts.
Realise that science studies show that vaccinated people actually spread more of the virus than unvaccinated. Simply…. if you don’t have a virus then get a needle with a virus in it…. you react with symptoms that then spread!
Secondly, polio in 95% of cases produces NO permanent problems. This argument by vaxers is the most ignorant trolop.
Vaccines are good in small doses and longer time periods between vaccinations. And not all vaccines are necessary or even effective especially long term!
Ask yourself… when was the last time you went for ALL your vaccine boosters? Plus the additional hail Mary new vaccines you all rave about!!?? I bet 90% of you vaxers pointing the fingers are in the same boat as non vaccinated peeps you hypocrites!! Lol
Shut up, dumbass.
Weird, my aunt had Polio as a child and lost a leg…. I really do think that is permanent, but I also haven’t checked to see if her leg grew back. Also the disease is not live and I have never once heard of a vaccine causing the disease. Remember 2014 when their was a measles outbreak at Disney, all because people stop vaccinating… people like you are the people who are going to end up wiping us out just because you have not “seen” the illnesses and what they can do to people, you don’t care to fight them.
